snipping the beaks, they way they were just leaving the dead around on the floor, and in buckets.

How is leaving a dead chicken in a bucket cruel? It'd dead, fer chrissakes! It can't feel anything if it's dead..

Not so much cruel as it is unsafe and unsanitary. What better thing to grow disease than dead, rotting corpses.

Probably - as I said, Chickens are nasty little fsckers.

some are, some aren't. I have 35 porcelains, they all live fine together. They're locked in a couple of horse stalls for the winter.

Fully fitted for use by chickens. Equipt with more than adequate roosts, boxes, heaters, soft straw, warmed water, and cleaned weekly.

Actually, maybe I shouldn't have argued that I was treating them well.... then maybe PETA would have sent the tiger lady to come discipline me :D:D:D

People should Boycott KFC just for their health. 30% of Americans are obese and you can attribute much of that to joints selling fried Poison like KFC and McDonalds

Granted. But then the problem doesn't fall under the bailiwick of PETA. I suspect PETA would truly be happy with nothing less that the entire world population becoming vegan. (Then someone will come up with an organization protesting the unethical treatment of plants and fungus..)

Haha, you gotta love it when PETA found one sympathizer in the whole audience. Of course she clapped like she was trying for a decibel record. These people are always obnoxious.

And the 'librul' Democrat was even going in for seconds on the KFC bucket. haha

Shows that PETA is so whacked out, they're neither left nor right.

That one really isn't too hard to figure out. Maybe you could come up with differences between plants and animals on your own?

Can you really fault the restaurants for selling a legal product that the public demands? The problem as I see it is that we as consumers are largely inactive and inattentive to the nutrition in our food. People need to get off of their fat arses and exercise more often.

They have a website that I haven't checked out yet, but it's at http://www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com

So what did you think of it, how did it make you feel to watch that video?

Made me wonder where the democrat you were talking about was.
