BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) - A trio of protesters with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals didn't find the welcome mat out when they stopped at a KFC in Brownsville on Wednesday. The sprinkler system was on for them, though.
John Olivo, the manager of the fast-food chicken restaurant, turned the system on full blast to soak the curbside protesters. And a man who eats beef followed them around with his stepchildren and a microphone.
The PETA protesters, including one in a chicken suit, are participating in PETA's campaign to get KFC to pressure slaughter houses to use more humane methods to kill chickens.
"They already hit me in McAllen," Olivo said in a story in Thursday's editions of The Brownsville Herald. "I was already waiting for them here in Brownsville."
"You're not going to win. Not in Brownsville," David Ingersoll, of Los Fresnos, shouted through his microphone at the protesters at a busy intersection. His stepchildren passed out anti-PETA pamphlets to stopped drivers.
"I'm waiting for someone to throw a cabrito head at them so they know what part of the country they are in," Ingersoll said, referring to the goat meat that's used in some Mexican dishes.

PETA Ping!
Please let me know if you want on or off this South Texas/Mexico ping list.
PETA is a joke, and everyone of us here should loudly berate them whenever we encounter them. Ridicule is a powerful weapon in front of bystanders.
That sentence just look better bigger.
This is how you treat left-wing agitators - you get up in their faces, and tell them to go to hell. Nike did it to Jesse Jackson a few years ago. Jackson and his ilk tried to shake down the company. The CEO basically told Jackson to stuff it.
These people will never support you no matter how much behind you smooch. SCREW 'EM!
That was EXCELLENT! I've often said I would be an angry nutcase too if I was denied bacon and BBQ.
There are some free-range rude people that even Hannibal Lecter wouldn't eat.
They didn't take it, but liked the idea. Turns out I ended up having a little impromptu discussion with one of the top PETA media guys (you see him on the cable shows a lot). I became the story on the local news-one quote from a reporterette--"PETA got more than they bargained for". They showed me having a pleasant discussion with Mr. Peta while I had my face stuffed with burgers.
Some guys from Iowa State showed up with their own PETA. People for Eating Tasty Animals. They set up a grill and started cooking. It was awesome!
You did something I have always wanted to do. What a better way to protest PETA.
I wonder if we could arrange to have a block party as close to the HQ as we can get and roast a pig :)
