PETA Ups Anti-KFC Campaign With 'Blood'

Post by theski »

The animal-rights activists who once suggested Ronald McDonald was a bloody butcher are going after Colonel Sanders, contending cruelty is the "secret recipe" for KFC's fried chicken.
Starting next month, Norfolk-based People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals plans to hand out "Buckets of Blood" to children outside KFC restaurants and at schools near the restaurants.The buckets are part of PETA's campaign against what it says are farming and slaughter abuses by KFC's suppliers.

I really really REALLY hate PETA...

Time to send off another email. I really want to meet one of these idiots someday and do a face to face debate with them. How fun that would be!

the best method to get rid of actions like that py peta would be if people wouldn´t show disgusted behaviour but if they´d simply take the bucket with fake blood the mascott and the other crap and started playing with it while continuing eating their chicken wings. ridiculing peta would be far more effective than showing disgust because disgust is what peta wants.

The truth of the matter is they want to try and kill the eating of animals completely. They want to force all of us to be Vegitarians

What about the ethical Treatment of Plants?

If it was MY children they were doing that to, that Bucket will be upended over the person's head and bashed with a large stick. Maybe that will knock their single brain cell loose.

It is from a paper I found in the Biology Lab Here at Weber.

The activities of PETA may be easily summed up in this possibly NSFW image. Simple as that.

I say, give me evidence that I as a human being should not fulfil my position atop the food chain, and I will stop doing so. The duty of humans is to eat other animals. Yes, they might be raised in inhumane ways, and something should be done about that, but if you don't eat cows for example, then the cow population will EXPLODE. It's our duty to eat them. So, go ahead and be vegan or whatever you want, and I will do what I can not to upset the natural balance more than need be.

They'll throw paint on you, scratch your car, and throw away your food.

Hmm...would it be possible to say that they could be using the blood buckets as a bioweapon, and get the dept. of homeland security on their asses for being a threat to national security?

If it's real blood then you could have the possibility of blood borne pathogens existing in it (though not Ebola Zaire as I posted above). That would constitute a health hazard and would be a serious offence given deliberate throwing of the blood over people for instance could lead to them getting something as nasty as Hep B.

PETA shoot themselves in the foot, again.

If it is Ebola, it looks an awful lot like the Mutaba virus they used in the movie Outbreak. Interesting that they actually did their research on that one.

That's because... it was. They used the same TEM images of the virus particles and basically let it do the same thing as my fave blood-borne haemorrhagic fever but with the added benefit of being airborne.

Actually, according to the article the buckets contain "a bag of fake blood and bones", along with some other crap.

Goddammit. :evil:

I was hoping it'd be a bucket just filled with blood (fake or real). Then I could have the following exchange:

<PETA Member> Eating meat is wrong. Here, have this bucket.
<Me> Hey, thanks! *dumps bucket on PETA member*
