BROWNSVILLE, Texas -- A trio of animal-rights protesters didn't find any welcome mat when they stopped at a KFC, but the restaurant manager did turn on the sprinkler system for them.

Manager John Olivo turned the sprinklers on full blast to soak the protesters from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals who were standing by the curb. They were campaigning for more humane methods of killing.

The protesters, including one in a chicken suit, were followed by a man with a microphone who said he eats beef

PETA members need an attitude adjustment with a little more bitter results than a shower.

A man and his two stepchildren picketing a fried chicken restaurant? Looks like the kids' Mom picked the wrong guy..AGAIN.

Dude, isn't there a big bag of pot at your house that's missing you right about now? (As if the manager of a fast food restaurant doesn't have better things to worry about than your dumb a$$.)

Of course you could consider it cheap dinner theater - it would be fun to sit inside, eat a three piece dinner while watching this guy get his panties in a knot out on the front lawn.

but the restaurant manager did turn on the sprinkler system for them.

That must've made them angrier than a wet hen.

Sure wish PETCO had the spine that this KFC owner had! PETCO rolled belly up to PETA, and will regret it 'til the day they are forced out of business due to more blackmailing by PETA, or the loss of customers through association with PETA, who is basically now "setting up shop" in their stores.

Great photo and brave man. He looks like he can take care of himself, though.

Which, depending on the barer, helps or hurts their cause :)

Well, it's a known fact that the only reason alot of young men join these idiotic organizations is because that's where alot of the young women are.

That coupled with the fact that alot of those young women are loose in their morals.
