GAINESVILLE, Ga. — An animal rights advocate wants to place a roadside memorial in Georgia to remember several chickens killed in a highway wreck.

A member of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals filed an application for the memorial Wednesday with the Georgia Department of Transportation.

I have a memorial in my Kitchen, it’s called a Pot. But for now we’ll call it a memorial.

[Iron Munro]

The proposed 10-foot tombstone that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has requested be placed on U.S. 129 at the site of a wreck involving a tractor-trailer carrying live chickens.

How many accidents and deaths will that cause when people rubberneck to see what is written on the monument?

Thanks for keeping us abreast of PETA’s efforts to drum up support for a memorial.

I once hit a cement chicken sitting on a cement block in the middle of the road, should I have erected a monument? I don’t think so. The cost of the oil pan was enough.

[Responsibility2nd]

Not a ping, but how would you like your chicken memorial?

Fried or barbecued?

I remember when there were monuments to chickens along the highways and biways of America:

This is just a bullshit ploy to garner publicity.

They welcome the ensuing humiliation if it gets them headlines.

BTW they've killed 38,190 cats and dogs since 1998!

No problem. I hope their planes don’t get Fowl’d up. If so, they can Wing it.

The government seems awful worried these days about people with mental issues. PETA is a good place to start.

[Responsibility2nd]

These are the lucky ones.

The survivors.

FINALLY, the free range chicken is given proper R-E-S-P-E-C-T !

My question is as follows: “Should the Chicken Monument be placed on the side of the road that the chicken was going to cross to, or the side of the road that the chicken started from?”

BTW, are plans in the works for an additional simple chicken pizza plaque to be placed at the point of impact?

PETA...perfectly edible tasty animals

Cousin Boneless, I remember him well ...

[jocon307]

Literally LOL at this one.

If I had their e-mail address, I’d provide the exact location where I CREAMED A WHITETAIL DEER at 4:30 AM on I96 heading out of Grand Rapids last November. They can all go there and pray, masturbate, or whatever it is they do.

"drum-up..breasts"..you can do better than that! d:-D

[j. earl carter]

What a bunch of feralists. I weep for all the skunks, bunnies, armadillos, groundhogs, possums, etc. that litter our roads. Why doesn't PETA care about them?

I think PETA should also come out as anti-vulture because vultures are so disrepectful to the remains of all those poor road-kill critters.

[Covenantor]

Big Yellow Duck says screw PETA and their roadside nonsense.

I will avenge the deaths of millions of my cousin Peeps.
And all my brothers and sisters in bondage in carnival games everywhere!
