But it's true.
I'm just saying that my decision to not eat there isn'tgoing to do [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img], because there are 45 million other people out there who don't give a rat's ass about chickens, no matter what Bea Arthuer says.
And they all watch NASCAR.
Its very tempting to make a joke with a sweeping generalization of black people and fried chicken right now, but I know someone would get offended and jump down my throat.
Anyway, they should do something to reduce the suffering. I wouldn't go as far as to boycott them, even if I did like there food, too greasy tasting for me. Make sure the Voltage will kill off their senses for one. And make sure they are less cramped in living spaces.
Also, I don't like the Extremists of PETA, a lot of them are okay, but some of these extremists are worse than the people doing things to the Chickens. Like throwing animal blood on people to express there points, though it doesn't happen often, only a few cases and not as bad as southpark portrayed it to be, as funny as that episode was.
Also, while i don't think animal suffering should be ignored, less money and effort should be put towards that to fix starving people and reduce human suffering.
Also, KFC is disgusting and gives me diarreah.
Why anyone would eat there in the first place is beyond me.
And Shlup is terrible at giving me reactions I want. :mad2:
It's not much worse than what is done to Chickens. Chickens can be left suffering in those places for a long period of time. A bleeding Animal that ends up in the water with Piranhas, is going to die within a short space of time.Quote:

Your argument doesn't matter because chickens don't matter when there are millions of them.
As far as I can see it, I'm perfectly fine with cannabalism and would like some salt to eat you with!
yes
I'm not going to read all this thread as I'm sure its full of a lot of self rightous poo from many people. Plus anyone with an onze of brain must know that to maintain the high stock they have to have many animals living together. Also you have your food cheap, they keep the animals cheaply.
If you have a problem with it you should not eat ANY fast food as they treat the animals the same anywhere.
I'm not going to read all of these pages because it's too much. But here's what I've got to say.
Thats a natural event though. An animal being hunted by a predator is supposed to happen. 5+ chickens all stuck in a little cage causing the legs to decompose is not right. No matter what arguement you may raise its not natural or right.Quote:

Just thought I'd have my say. Oh BTW I'm studying to become a veteranarian :p
Sad yeah but not eating it isnt going to help. I love KFC, in fact im eating some tonight. Finger licking good!
But the internet, that is natural, yes?Quote:

I agree with that part of it. I don't think it's right to be unecessarily cruel. I just hate the 'natural' card, because 90% of the modern world is unnatural in form, function, or composition. Or all three.Quote:
