PETA opposes tribute to fried chicken(vegan whining alert)

Animals rights advocates are squawking at a measure that would make fried chicken Kentucky's official picnic food.

State Rep. Charles Siler is sponsoring legislation to assign the designation to KFC's "finger lickin' good" chicken, first served by Colonel Harland Sanders in 1940.

The late colonel's fried chicken deserves the title because of the worldwide attention and economic benefit it has brought to the state, Siler said. KFC, a subsidiary of Louisville-based Yum Brands Inc., has 11,000 restaurants in more than 80 countries.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals bristles at the idea. The animal rights group claims that the chickens KFC serves are abused, even tortured.

"If the state legislature moves forward with this one, then they should change Kentucky's state bird from the cardinal to the debeaked, crippled, scalded, diseased, dead chicken," said Bruce Friedrich, PETA vice president.

I wonder why liberals have never had an issue with the militant vegans trying to force their lifestyle on others. PETA don't seem to me all that much different then Fred Phelps group just on a different topic.

Ok, but in turn the AMA has to change it's logo to a dead bloodied brain-sucked-out aborted tiny baby.  We need across the board truth in advertising.

Okay, that'll happen right about the time PETA comes correct about the tens of thousands of companion animals they euthanized.

Oh, and PETA?  There's room for all of God's creatures--right next to the mashed potatoes.

Well said! :)

It seriously annoys me that PETA can get away with talking about defending even cockroaches, when they themselves are euthanizing healthy animals every day.  They claim it's because they can't find homes, which I think is a BS claim.

Let's not forget that PETA is a terrorist organization.
