Gee, what a shock … animal rights groups have a problem with KFC. So now KFC has official “Poultry Welfare Guidelines” on their website.
Ignoring PETA’s lack of relevance in my world view, I find it really strange that a company has to put so much effort into defining just how their chickens are treated before they’re killed and cooked. The Colonel won’t reveal his secret spices, but he will mandate that chickens not be de-beaked. I’m amazed that this made the news … the radio announcer tried not to laugh as she read the story.
For a choice summary of my feelings on animal rights, I defer to the rant master: Dennis Miller …
Look, the philosophy behind shunning meat for moral reasons has got more loopholes than Steve Forbes’ long form, all right! Animal rights activists believe that as the most evolved carbon-based entity on this planet, we have a responsibility to co-exist in harmony with our feathered, finned and furred pals rather than forcing them to serve our needs. Yeah, and I’m sure if I was wandering naked across the Serengeti plain and happened to come across a pride of lions who were feeling peckish that day, they’d show me the same fucking courtesy. Right! Come on, in less time that it takes to say “two all-Miller patties”, I’d be chili con carnage, all right!
The chickens at my farm (along with the goats, horses, cats & dog) are not to be sold for slaughter. They live a choice lifestyle, and that will never change … unless that stupid rooster doesn’t stop crowing at 3:00 in the fucking morning (it’s not dawn yet, you feathered idiot … get an atomic clock!).
