Chickens are friends for some people, dinner for others. Sometimes both.

But one animal rights group feels that the name of a rural road in the Treasure Valley isn’t kind to poultry.

PETA sent out a news release Wednesday morning alerting Idaho media that it has written a letter to Caldwell Mayor Garret Nancolas to ask for a change to the street name Chicken Dinner Road.

Dear PETA,

We would be more than happy to change the name to one of the following:

Baby Seal Club Road.
Rare Whale Burger Boulevard
Veal Tartara Drive
Foie Gras Way

They would probably prefer this name, (but I'm afraid Cowfart Cortez wouldn't like it one bit!)

“Good Indian Road” would be a lot better.

We had trailer parts shipped to us from Dead Indian Road. I’m surprised they haven’t made them change it by now.

I’ve named all of my girls after First Ladies. I’d, therefore, nominate such a road to be called ‘Pennsylvania Avenue’!

By the way, guess what my black chicken’s name is...

NO, YOU RACISTS! It’s “Jackie O”! Sheesh.

There is a crossroads near here called Negro Foot.
I still have an old map that has that designation on it.
The story goes that an escaped slave had his foot amputated and posted at the crossroads as a warning to other potential runaways.
It’s been scrubbed from more recent maps.

Back home, we have Negro Mountain and Polish Mountain. A few years ago, all the virtue signalling, state social justice congrescritters suddenly got worked up into a lather about them and tried to have their names changed. FAIL.

You make an excellent point! How do they know that “Chicken Dinner Road” doesn’t refer to what the chickens are eating for dinner?

We should call it “PETA Dinner Rd” then.

Seriously, Chicken Dinner Rd is a tourist attraction here in the Treasure Valley.

Personally I prefer Chickensoup Avenue.

But I can live with Chickenpie Street

or Chicken Dumpling Lane

Or even Fried Chicken Road!
