well, they do kill them for our consumption

Mmmmm... tasty chicken goodness.

Sorry, Peta freaks. I'm all for abolishing cruelty to animals, and I will never wear something as perverse as a fur coat as a fashion statement, but you terrorist f@cks stand for something else entirely. Peta is a hundred-million-dollar cult that masquerades as an animal rights organization. This propaganda here presented is as distorted a view of reality as anything produced by either the Soviet Communist regime, Nazi Germany, or the Religious Right in the United States.

from Wikipedia: "PETA has been the target of criticism by other animal welfare advocates. Virginian activist John Newton (formerly of Meower Power) describes the group as "cult-like" adding "If you're not radical enough, they drive you out." Merritt Clifton, founder and editor of Animal People has said "Ingrid Newkirk runs PETA like a guru cult. Sooner or later, everyone who questions her or upstages her in any way, no matter how unintentionally, ends up getting shafted in the most humiliating manner Newkirk can think of." Sue Perna, an animal rights activist and former PETA employee calls Newkirk "an abuser of the human animal" adding "Many of us believe that the further we distance ourselves from PETA, the better off the animal rights movement will be.""

I'm all for the humane treatment of animals, but PETA is about preying on kind motives for financial gain.

Capitalism at its finest. It's all well and good raising awareness of this and getting angry about it, but if the law were changed to guarantee humane treatment of animals people would go mental when they realised they had to pay three times as much for a Zinger.

That's just where most peoples' priorities lie.

By the way, boycotting this video because PETA are extremist loons is like boycotting gardening tools because serial killers have used them to murder people. It's the content that matters, not its origins.

I disagree with your last point, haggis.

I wouldn't respect a murderer's opinions on human rights and I won't take advice on animal rights from PETA.

There are many other animal rights organizations that would and do lambast such practices as those covered in this video, but they have something that strengthens their argument far beyond PETA's capabilities: Integrity.

I won't take PETA's advice either, especially if it includes going vegetarian! If there is a God, then he put pigs on this earth so I could have bacon.

Seriously though, while I have no more love for animal rights terrorists than the next bloke, my point was that this video isn't about PETA, it's about KFC. If more people were made aware of what goes into fast food, fewer people would buy it (and there does seem to have been a tidal change in attitudes towards fast food in the last few years). I don't think it's inconsistent to upvote this particular video and still think PETA are a bunch of dangerous cretins.

I for one will probably avoid KFC the next time I stop at a motorway service station, just because of the images in this video. (Whereas in the past I would have avoided KFC just because it's rank

Point taken. I've avoided fast food like the plague since watching Supersize Me.

As long as I was born with CANINE TEETH, I'm eatin' meat.

Sweet. Pamela Anderson telling me what's natural and what's not.

Someone contact her plastic surgeon.

I upvoted for the content as well, like haggis. I am also not a fan of the looney PETA organization.

PETA also seems to like its "celebrity" endorsements an awful lot - I upvote content, even if presenation is skewered towards the idea of "Evil Bloody Colonel"

As SouthPark put it, PETA Loves Animals - Hates People.
