| |  Stop PETA Now !!
This group has got to be stopped. It is obviously composed of people who have no lives. www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com is the latest attempt to shut down KFC. So I guess I'm up on my "soapbox" so to speak, urging everyone to support KFC over PETA.
If everyone who is against PETA, emails all of their contacts and so on and so on,urging support for KFC, maybe we can drum up enough support to put PETA in it's place.
thanks for your time.

Were these the same kooks behind the ban of foie gras in California?

Yeah, these guys supported the ban on foie gras, but it was really ALF (not kidding) that was in the forefront of that movement. They were the ones that destroyed that guy's shop and terrorized his family.

I read about this in the paper a few weeks ago and got a HUGE laugh out of it. Some people really do have too much time on thier hands! In Kentucky (my home state) PETA tried to get the state capital to remove a bust of Colonel Sanders from the Capital building.
No one fear, the bust still stands and the state has no intentions of removing the bust of this fine Kentuckian.

I know they're fanatical, but does that mean we must be pro- KFC? |

There's plenty of information on both ALF and Peta...and between the two of them as well. I've also always found it interesting when you look up one of the "PETA" issues, you come to several sites offering the same point of view. So it seems that you have collaborating information. Only to find they often stem from the same origins.

As somebody very smart once said, "Moderation in all things."
Even so, I'm a dedicated carnivore.

Fantacism says more about the person than the cause.

Can't stand either group! I totally agree with you Mark. Both are fanatical groups and I deplore their tactics, but I truly believe that ALF should be listed as a domestic terrorist organization. Some of their tactics go way beyond the acceptable.

I think we should all get together and have a picnic on the front lawn of their offices. We'll have foie gras, Beluga caviar, veal, and dolphin-killed tuna steaks. The ladies will wear real fur coats. The men will sport pro-death-penalty T-shirts. We'll put up a pro-choice sign, smoke cigars and cigarettes, and hand out flyers supporting stem cell and animal research.
I'll bring the French wine.
Mark
