Tough job to be a Chicken-Pal
prob’ly thinks beeves evolved to fit into those little plastic trays, too
"Chickens are lively birds who have been torn from the leafy world in which they evolved. We want chickens to be restored to their green world and not be eaten,"[Karen Davis, the founder and president of United Poultry Concerns ] said...
It’s gonna be tough when someone tells her that chickens, as she knows them, were *cue scary music* genetically altered over time by intentional breeding practices. She’ll probably faint. Let’s save the bits about tomatoes, sheep and cauliflower for next week.
Although I imagine Clarice will enjoy a celebration of “International Respect for Chickens Day,” May 4. Oh, wait. If we do that, the duckies and the goozes will want their own days, too. Then the hossies… Cheeze, we could be planning a party every day. Best not to start something....
...if ya know what I mean.
OTOH, Ms Davies, who apparently doesn’t know any actual chickens, will celebrate the day by showing the cartoon Chicken Run to all her friends. She has protested the whole Eggs at Easter thing, the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book series, and “compared the attacks on the World Trade Center to what “millions of chickens endure every day.”
Ok—now I agree with her—we gotta find a way to stop Islamofascists from flying big planes into chicken houses!
ThanQ! Matt
