Chickens are friends for some people, dinner for others. Sometimes both.
But one animal rights group feels that the name of a rural road in the Treasure Valley isn’t kind to poultry.
PETA sent out a news release Wednesday morning alerting Idaho media that it has written a letter to Caldwell Mayor Garret Nancolas to ask for a change to the street name Chicken Dinner Road. However, Caldwell city street maps don’t include Chicken Dinner Road, which is located in rural Canyon County.
Just like dogs, cats, and human beings, chickens feel pain and fear and value their own lives,” said PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman in the letter.
She wants the mayor to change the name of the road to “one that celebrates chickens as individuals, not as beings to kill, chop up, and label as ‘dinner.’ ”
Changing the name of Chicken Dinner Road would show compassion to chickens and “respect for other species, she said. She said PETA would help pay for replacing the sign.
Joe Decker, a spokesman for Canyon County, said the county has heard from a handful of residents who grew up there and don’t want the name to be changed. He said county commissioners were in meetings all morning, and he’s skeptical that they would change the name “based on a letter from PETA.”
When PETA hypocrites stop wearing LEATHER shoes and belts, and riding on LEATHER seats in their SUV’s, and playing piano’s with Ivory keys,
and stop using plastic bags which are made with chemicals from animal fat,
and stop eating sugar which is processed with bone char – a granular material from animal ashes,
and stop using CONDOMS – which are made with Casein (found in animal milk),
and stop using Nail Polish which contains Guanine which is from fish scales,
and stop drinking ORANGE JUICE which is supplemented with omega 3 fatty acids from fish,
and stop eating BAGELS which use L-cysteine from bird feathers,
and stop smoking cigarettes which use hemoglobin derived from PIG BLOOD in the filters…
…Then and only then do they have permission to open wide their stupid mouths and try to tell other people how to live.
