Chickens have little peckers
Read my post just above yours.........the dateline of this press release, Machipongo, is the next county south of me -— we go there pretty frequently. Our favorite seafood market is located there!!!!
ROFL!!!!!!!!!! Too funny!
The guy that manages the chicken houses across the road is a good buddy of my husband’s and my best friend’s husband, I can’t wait for them to read this article!
Thank you both for the post and ping.
We’ll do our part this month for those poor chickens by eating more of them thus getting them off those dreadful farms.
It may be just as well that Colonel Sanders isn’t around to see this.
Grammy, billhilly, CrappieLuck and I all respect fish everyday.
We love our finned friends (LOL)
LOL. I actually put a frying hen out to thaw this morning, am making fried chicken for dinner.
I just wish PETA would release all the poor captured chickens they save at my house.
On a serious note (true story), a few years ago I was editing an OD magazine, and a coworker brought in a fundraising appeal she had received in the mail.
It was from the AR group Farm Santuary. Remember Sally Struthers on TV pleading for money for starving kids? Well, this was the same thing, FS brochures asking you to participate in their “Adopt A Cow” program.
You could send them money and adopt a cow, and they’d send you pictures and letters updating the progress of your cow.
So, I called FS, and it was the most hilarious conversation you’ve ever heard. The lady explained to me that the founders of FS were at a Grateful Dead outdoor concert in the 1970s, selling tofu hotdogs out of the back of their VW van. They looked over and saw a farmer’s cow, and said “Man, we save other animals, but nobody is saving the cows.”
So, they began Farm Santuary, a non profit to save farm animals. They are now multi millionaires, and own two big farms, one on the east and one on the west coast.
I asked the FS girl “Say I want to adopt one of your cows, and I take it home and put it in my freezer.” She said they have ways to keep that from happening (social workers for cows).
I also asked them where they get their cows, chickens and stuff they keep on their farms. She said they go to stockyards and the farmers just give them the poor downed and sick animals, and they take them and nurse them back to health.
For a good laugh, check out Farm Santuary’s website sometime.
Many poultry producers would be glad to contract with these people if they were willing to pay, say, $6.00 per pullet.
LOL! Yet another good story, girl, that’s hilarious.
Have to give those moonbats some credit, they used capitalism and what many would consider a scam to make it big.
I’ll bet they’re still moonbat, animal rights whack jobs though, albeit rich ones. :-)
I need to rustle up some grub ...
Plus, here in KC, the original Stroud's, managed by Mike Donnegan has reopened at a new location. The best fried chicken on the face of the earth has come back!
