And a man who eats beef...

In other words, a "man" :-)

Good for him. If more people had the nads to stand up to these wackos like this guy did, they wouldn't be a problem. They'd fade away.

It hasn't been quite like this in other parts of the state," said Chris Link, PETA's campaign coordinator, who is traveling to protest KFC in 12 Texas cities. Link said the group didn't receive harsh treatment earlier in McAllen. "It's a rarity that we get this," he said after the dousing.

Finally someone beats these kooks at their own game. Priceless!

Save the animals. Eat a PETA member instead.

DRAT. Here's a KFC story, and today's Thursday, not Tuesday (no livers today). :'(

The best way to get back at PETA is to ask them to show one shred of proof that any of the money they make from donations goes to anything related to animals, whether it be animal shelters, animal hospitals or animal protection. The only thing PETA does is promote PETA so they can line their pockets. It should be called "PUPP" People for the Unethical Promotion of PETA. PETA is the Al Sharpton of the Animal groups.

PETA is NOT interested in HUMANE KILLING. They are interested in ending all human consumption of animals, and that includes pet ownership. If KFC caved tomorrow, and established nothing but free range chicken plants, PETA would still object.

"In a perfect world, animals would be free to live their lives to the fullest: raising their young, enjoying their native environments, and following their natural instincts. However, domesticated dogs and cats cannot survive "free" in our concrete jungles, so we must take as good care of them as possible. People with the time, money, love, and patience to make a lifetime commitment to an animal can make an enormous difference by adopting from shelters or rescuing animals from a perilous life on the street. But it is also important to stop manufacturing "pets," thereby perpetuating a class of animals forced to rely on humans to survive." -PETA pamphlet, Companion Animals: Pets or Prisoners?

"I don’t use the word "pet." I think it’s speciesist language. I prefer "companion animal." For one thing, we would no longer allow breeding. People could not create different breeds. There would be no pet shops. If people had companion animals in their homes, those animals would have to be refugees from the animal shelters and the streets. You would have a protective relationship with them just as you would with an orphaned child. But as the surplus of cats and dogs (artificially engineered by centuries of forced breeding) declined, eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship – enjoyment at a distance." -Ingrid Newkirk, PETA vice-president, quoted in The Harper's Forum Book, Jack Hitt, ed., 1989, p.223.

"As John Bryant has written in his book Fettered Kingdoms, they [pets] are like slaves, even if well-kept slaves." -PETA's Statement on Companion Animals

"The bottom line is that people don't have the right to manipulate or to breed dogs and cats ... If people want toys they should buy inanimate objects. If they want companionship they should seek it with their own kind." -Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA, "Animals," May/June 1993"You don't have to own squirrels and starlings to get enjoyment from them ... One day, we would like an end to pet shops and the breeding of animals. [Dogs] would pursue their natural lives in the wild ... they would have full lives, not wasting at home for someone to come home in the evening and pet them and then sit there and watch TV." -Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA, Chicago Daily Herald, March 1, 1990.

"Pet ownership is an abysmal situation brought about by human manipulation." -Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA, Washingtonian, August 1986

"Arson, property destruction, burglary and theft are 'acceptable crimes' when used for the animal cause." -Alex Pacheco, Director, PETA

"I wish we all would get up and go into the labs and take the animals out or burn them down." -Ingrid Newkirk, President, PETA, National Animal Rights Convention '97, June 27, 1997

...and just to prove they're nuts:

"If a girl gets sexual pleasure from riding a horse, does the horse suffer? If not, who cares? If you French kiss your dog and he or she thinks it's great, is it wrong? We believe all exploitation and abuse is wrong. If it isn't exploitation and abuse, it may not be wrong." -Ingrid Newkirk, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals

PETA has the same philosophical underpinnings as these self-loathing headcases: http://www.vhemt.org .

Anyone care to figure out which KFC restaurant this was? Time to send them letters of commendation. :)

Turning the sprinklers on Leftists in Brownsville is a terrible waste of valuable water. The PETA pukes should have thanked him for the free shower. In another month, they would be begging for a cool shower.

Why don't the PETA nuts go chase down the rooster and dog fighters in the Hispanic barrios in S. Texas? If they tried that nonsense down in Matamoros, they would end up being themselves on the menu.

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.

Give these nutcases an inch and they'll take a mile.

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!

If I can tout my own experience standing up to them--PETA was protesting at the Animal Disease Lab in Ames, Iowa. I knew the media was there, so I went to the BK, picked up a bunch of burgers, got a half gallon of milk too, and offered lunch to the media--reporterettes, and camera guys.

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!

Be sure to send an "atta boy" email regarding this fine American to KFC at this address:

The left is going to try to bury KFC Corporate in complaints.
