#3 They want chickens to die of (relatively slow) suffocation in gas chambers (CO2 or CO is most often used)??? How cruel are these PETA nuts? I prefer they use lethal injection with a tasty basting marinade.

#4 I hear they have a thigh and leg deal this week! Poor chickens with no legs and thighs! It's is the year of the rooster so chicken does sound good.

#5 "...we will not negotiate with corporate terrorists."

Sounds like a plan. I personally will get physical with crapheads.

#6 âThey already hit me in McAllen,â said John Olivo, shortly before cranking KFCâs sprinkler system at full blast and soaking the curbside protestors. âI was already waiting for them here in Brownsville,â he laughed.

You've got to admire the plucky Mr. Olivo, who ruffled the protestors' feathers and gave chicken-eaters everywhere something to crow about.

#7 .âWeâre out here today to raise awareness about the chickens,â said Link, a Baltimore native.

That wonderful smell rolling out of KFC ought to be enough to raise awareness about the chickens.

#8 PETA = Psychos Enduring Taunts and Abuse

#9 âAll we want them (slaughter houses) to do is gas the chickens instead of killing them.â PETA suggests a âcontrolled-atmosphereâ killing, using gases such as nitrogen and argon to kill the chickens

Anyone ever seen the episode of Bullshit (Penn and Teller take on junkscience, etc.) where they dealt with the "animal rights" movement? Was it PETA that had an industrial-sized freezer installed at their headquarters for the "humane" destruction of animals?

#11 I thought some states did away with gas executions because it was too cruel?

#13 Sarge - You took my line!

Sorry buddy, KFC wants chickens that taste good, not chickens with good taste...

I don't care who your friends are...

#18 I bet none of these clowns has ever tried to gas chickens. I have. They take at least a minute to die and go crazy trying to escape.

#23 Mucky, do you have cats? I do, 3. Their favored passtime is to corner a mouse, all three of them, and stand watching the traped squealing rodent, with an ocassional paw nudge, until it expires from a hard attack. They also leave trophys of their nightly prowls and stack them on the front doormat neatly lying there peacefully, with ever so gently crushed skulls. Sometimes, they just leave heads and tails as the squirrels go, maybe because the nut stuffing is a yummy delicacy in cats' culinary cookbook. I can't imagine what they would do to a feathered serpent... but I do know what they do to avians and serpents.

We carnivorian humans are pure utilitarians in comparison.

#24 sorry Muck - chicken's besides tasting damn good are one of the dumbest animals on the Earth. Seems God sent a message with that pairing

#25 "All we want them (slaughter houses) to do is gas the chickens instead of killing them."

Wouldn't gassing chickens leave residue in the body? After all, they'd be breathing the stuff in, and once the fowl's bodily functions stopped, there'd be no way to purge the toxins, right?

Quite frankly, I'd prefer the taste of the chicken unaltered, thank you.
