Tens gathered at an Oakland Trader Joe's recently to mourn the death of the chickens in the fridge, which just so happened to be going for some of the best prices around.
Direct Action Everywhere, the organization that put on the funeral wrote this beautiful eulogy on Instagram:
A funeral was held inside of a Trader Joe's in Oakland, CA to honor chickens who were abused and killed by Perdue's Petaluma Poultry, a cruel company that supplies chicken bodies to Trader Joe's. Thousands of people have asked Trader Joe's to cut ties with Petaluma Poultry, including Paris Hilton, but so far Trader Joe's has refused. They won't even engage in dialogue with animal cruelty investigators.
The chickens are survived by thousands of relatives, which are currently in line to be slaughtered.

I'm not crying because the chicken slaughter, I'm crying because the wings I made for lunch are gone and I should've ordered six more but I wasn't thinking ahead.
Like the children’s nursery rhyme: “Mary had a little lamb, some peas and mashed potatoes...”
Just think of all those chickens that shrimp could save!
Did they cremate them slowly over charcoal with a lemon butter sauce??
You’d better not eat my cocker spaniel!
They do things to get attention to themselves. ....
And they succeeded.
Chickens are, in reality, savage little pint sized Velociraptors.
If you turn them out in your backyard for a “free range fest” they will do things that totally wreck your whole chicken paradigm.

Chickens and other birds are descended from dinosaurs. When we eat a chicken, we are just retaliating for how their Mesozoic ancestors killed and ate our Mesozoic mammalian ancestors.
Well, if Paris Hilton says so.....
I hate vegans. Entitled self-absorbed smug bassturds.
I wasn’t expecting all of this insanity to accompany the Age of Aquarius.
They ARE lunatics. Its just that simple.
Are eggs next?
Unborn chickens, you know.
Carrot murdering scum!
plastic flowers
cheap bastards
they dont even care enough to use real flowers
Yup.
Salty, buttery vengeance.
Eggs in the grocery store are infertile, unless otherwise marked. Nobody dies when you crack an egg and fry it.
From my high class knowledge of fine cinema:
“Someday, if that Sissy Hankshaw ever shows up here again, I’m gonna teach her how to hypnotize a chicken. Chickens are the easiest critters on Earth to hypnotize. If you can look a chicken in the eyes for ten seconds, it’s yours forever.”
