"Guerrilla activism" can be as relatively harmless as throwing red paint on women in fur coats

So, the most benign way of participating with PETA is destroying other people's property?

Yeah, they have their value RIGHT in line! ID'JITS

I gotta have my meat. But there's something wrong with any human being who takes delight in causing a weaker creature unnecessary pain. I'd have fired these guys the moment it was brought to my attention. Then I would proceed with processing chickens for tasty dinners.

>>They're all asking 'Why is this happening to me?'<<

If the animals are talking to you, it's time for your shot of Haldol. That will fix up your auditory hallucinations quickly.

We should be nice to animals before we kill them and eat them.

It’s the least we can do to thank them for being so delicious.

The sociopaths in question were employees of a chicken processor called "Pilgrim's Pride," not KFC.

KFC is digging its own grave by pandering to these domestic terrorists rather than telling them to go screw themselves.

If only I could reduce that into the size of a tagline....

And here I thought this story was going to be about a company increasing its security because of PETA.

Would somebody please explain to me why these freakshows always paint themselves like tigers? Am I missing something? Do people eat tiger somewhere?

Your right these birds were made to be eaten. But there is no need to treat them like that. The same goes for cows, pigs.

You gotta wonder about DEI's newest sponsor.

What we're asking is that they render them senseless first. Why is that such a challenging idea?

Honestly, if that were all PETA really wanted, I'd be all for 'em. I agree with this. The problem is of course that's not what they want. They'd love to make it illegal to eat meat, frankly.

Agreed.

Killing an animal, quickly, for food, is one thing. Torturing it to death is another.

Mythbusters had to run a second show on frozen vs fresh fowl and aircraft damage and they were too chicken to use live ones for even more reality.
