ANIMAL welfare extremists want to ban the display of naked chickens in supermarkets.
They also protest against pictures of raw chickens in ads, The Weekly Times reports.
The American founder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, president Ingrid Newkirk, criticised a newspaper for running a picture of a raw chicken.
"We don't want to see any chickens on display, but instead want them to live natural, happy lives with their families.
"Sexily displaying the corpse of a chicken who has been bred to grow so big, so quickly, that many collapse under their own weight, is just additionally offensive."
Other supporters expressed disgust at the sight of plucked chickens in supermarkets.
A PETA spokesman said the organisation wants everyone to go vegan.
You almost owed me a new keyboard. LMAO
I *wondered* when a choke the chiken joke was gonna show up.
Thanks.
Agreed. And I’m going to have to remember this — a more polite way of stating the same thing. (Thanks, AF!)
Hell, they ain’t so hot with their clothes ON!
We can also thank the Victorians for the word “dressing” as it relates to bread and other food items packed into the cavity of a bird.
Because there is no rude connotation to the phrase “get dressed”. :)
The piano legs in Victorian parlors were draped in velvet skirts so there wouldn’t be naked legs in the house.
Books in the bookcase had to be segregated; male authors on one shelf, female authors on the other.
The bovine “bull” was strictly verboten; it was referred to as a `male cow’, `gentleman cow’, or `cow critter”.
I go back far enough to have heard an old geezer complain, “Where were girls in miniskirts when _I_ needed them!?”
I like that answer.Actually it involves a certain member being stuck in the chicken.
