Aren't chickens the ones that stare at the sky when it starts to rain, and they won't stop? So you have to bring them inside when it rains or they'll drown?
The KFC near my place has a buffet. I wish they'd allow me to bring my ricecooker and Texas Pete.

me too!
they give you 2 friggen BBQ sauce packets for 20 nuggets, or ANYTHING you order, then CHARGE you $.25 for each extra packet!?!?!?!?!? I need seven to be enough for 20 nuggets, that's an extra $1.25, jesus....those bastards!
(this is the KFC in my city, dunno about other KFC's)
Other than the intelligent part, they are correct in describing the chicken social behavior.Originally posted by: Mwilding

The effort maybe better for those people to boycott everything from Norway & Japan do to their whaling practice.
The only reason they peck each other to death in the first place is because the chickens are given like 11 cubic inches of space per 5 chickens or some disturbing number like that. While I don't agree with their methods, I am amazed by the people who refuse to believe that the animals are being treated cruely.

It so they don't poke each other eyes out due to confine space, similar to the reasoning for de-horns steers to preserve the hide from scarring.

Call me stupid, but how can you be cruel to something you are going to eat??!! Somehow I don't have too much sympathy for something that will shortly be on a bun.....
At least it is nice to see that the number of people who don't instantly refuse to believe anything having to do with animal rights has risen

By that reasoning, why shouldn't we torture a stray cat before we put it to sleep? I don't have any sympathy for something that will shorty be in the ground.
On another note, the cruelty has health effects. Disease spreads quite easily, which means they have to pump them full of drugs (which eventually make their way into you), etc.
You know, I read through your report and I am absolutely fascinated by your findings. Perhaps you sho.... oh wait... I didn't get the report. Care to email it to me?
All this talk about animal cruelty makes me hungry. Time to head up to Wendy's for one O'them Zesty Ranch and Bacon Chicken Sandwiches, or whatever the hell Dave calls 'em. Damned Tastey!

I believe that the animals ARE being treated cruely. I just don't like PETA...however, I do make an exception for the tiger lady (grrrrowl).
I just realize the harsh truth that PETA is fighting a losing battle. The poultry industry is very large in North America and there are more probably more chickens than people....but that's simply because they are being raised as a food source. While the treatment of them is inhumane and cruel, they are being harvested to feed people...which are higher on the food chain. For the volume of chickens being 'processed', they are being treated as food and not as pets. Ever heard the expression "chicken with its head cut off"? That's older than any of us....and I'm sure the tree-bark eating PETA members heard this expression and decided that it would make a good target. Why do they attack KFC??? Why not Tyson? Why not Hormel? Why not Butterball? Because they're trying to hit an American icon and turn our stomachs. KFC is cooked and goes good with beer when you buy it...those others are not. I see through their marketing campaign like I do those sexy teddies on skin-a-max. They can't fool me and from Crossfire tonight, it doesn't look like they fooled anyone else either. Everyone was eating KFC in the audience.
We can take a step further and torture those aids & cancer patient while they are alive, because they eventually going to die soon.Originally posted by: MacBaine

Oh wait, why don?t we torture other people, because they are going to die in some point it their life anyway.

Life is short, we might as well make it as painful as possible.

study showing chicken friendships please.
ants have social hierarchies
most animals recognize one another. it keeps em from eating each other and mating with trees.
love? questionable. many animals take care of their young, keeps the species going you know.
my lizard enjoys a full life sitting on his a$s. so what.
none of this proves intelligence equal to dogs or cats. you have to prove equal cognitive abilities, not the ability to perch in a frickin tree.
