What KFC does is really horrible. They also distroy the Amazon too Boycott KFC!

quote:

How can you be such an...ASS HOLE!!?

Years of experience. I take it as a compliment these days. You'll have to do better than insult me if you want to be taken seriously. Try arguing with facts. That generally does the trick.

And yes, I know I am an animal. Which is why I'm justified in eating other animals. They'd do it to me if I gave them the chance. Survival of the fittest, my dear. Which, of course, includes being the strongest and most exploitive. You should see humpback whales corralling krill. It's horrible. The krill never have a chance. And I'm sure they suffer somehow. Baleen is kind of prickly.

When you put chickens in an enclosed space, they tend to peck. Each other, that is. No beaks means no pecking. And that means I don't have to deal with bruised meat when I buy chicken.

The animals I eat are not my friends. I never met them, I never knew them, they are essentially complete strangers to me. I would definitely feel guilty about cutting off my friend's lips, but the chicken was never my friend. It may seem a bit distant, but that's just me. That's my personality. I've watched PETA movies and they do not affect me at all.

But if I had the money, I'd eat free range. So it's all good.

hmm...

what was I thinking of?...

ASS HOLE!!?
Animals feel pain as you do
DAMN RIGHT YOU SHOULD CARE
What if you were put through that pain?
HUH?
WE ARE ALL ANIMALS

I just really don't understand how stupid some people can be. Why do some think that killing a pig or a cow is any better than killing their own pets? I recently read a letter by Chief Seattle, and it really got to me. Who are we to sell the sky, or the ground? "Mankind is not the weaver of the web of life, but merely a strand in it." I believe cutting a chicken's beak off (and I don't understand why they do this, either) is just as bad as cutting, say, your friend's lips off. I just am so dumbfounded by animal cruelty that I am left completely - and no exaggerating here - and utterly speechless. I just don't know what to say. After exploring a few sites, I literally walked away shaking. I had to cuddle both my mom, my dad, and my two cats for like an hour to get over that.

Please visit at least one of the following websites:
www.peta.com
www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com
www.circuses.com

P.S. My dad also told me something today that isn't entirely on the subject but is inspiring nonetheless. "Everyone starts off with an 8 oz. glass of water. You can use all 8 oz. of that water, or worry about someone else's water, someone's who you can do nothing about. If you focus your energy on impossibility, you might only use, say, five of the eight ounces." Just think about that for a second. Makes ya think.

Haha. That has to be the funniest thing I've ever read.

I saw super size me and it only made me want to eat mcdonalds more.

You only really need to worry about quality if you eat it every day. And I don't think any of us are stupid enough to eat fast food hamburgers every day. Except Morgan Spurlock. Of course McDonald's is going to be bad for you if you eat it three times a day...

Fastfood is sh*t no matter what.

El cheapo fried burgers are tasty as hell though. You eat one every once in a while and you're fine. You'd get worse consequences from smoking a cigarette.

I read parts of Fast Food Nation. It didn't phase me at all. What am I supposed to worry about? The artificial flavorings? The poor job quality for fast food workers? The fact that cows actually died to bring me my Big Mac? I don't east fast food that much, but I do like it every so often. I know it's not the best thing for me, but, hey, that's why I exercise and eat Subway more often than not.

I lived on an island where there were no fastfood restaraunts anywhere. So I didn't grow up with it, and now I don't eat it - That often anyway, I'll stop at Tim's once and awhile

Read Fast Food Nation and you won't eat at a fastfood joint ever again I promise.

I must admit that I am not a vegetarian and enjoy a good hamburger every once in a while, but I would much rather have left the Native Americans alone to do it their way - they were ten times kinder than us - they treasured the animal before killing it, and used every bit of it afterwards.

Yeah, they just ran buffalo herds off cliffs and killed them with primitive spears.

The irony is that our modern food production is far, far more efficient as far as use of the animal goes. You've got to squeeze every last dollar out of the carcass if you want to maximize profitablity. And they do, quit literally, squeeze it all out.

Horray Capitalism!

We've actually found ways to turn animal byproducts into gasoline and fuel oil.

quote:

Animals are human

Humans are animals, I think you mean.

quote:

We, on the other hand, step on and throw innocent birds across the room just because we're bigger than them.

Why is this bad? You're applying human rights to animals. It's nature. The only rules there are in nature are what the biggest, baddest animal makes up. And, more often than not, we humans are the biggest, baddest animals.

If you go out into the Savannah unarmed, you'll most likely be attacked and killed by a lion. The lion will eat some of you but leave the rest for scavengers. Is the lion wrong for not eating all of you? Is the lion wrong for killing you in a way that makes you suffer? Of course not. Then why are humans any different? We may have the capability to be more compassionate, but that doesn't mean we are obligated to act in that manner.

Some of the quotes posted on the site are so unfathomably stupid I cannot even express my anger. I cannot believe that people are so ignorant that they think a chicken should be brutally tortured and burned alive just because they don't have one as a pet. Animals are human. I think humans have completely thrown off the way the world works, and now everyone has in their head that we're at the top of everything just because we have brutally conquered more peaceful species and reproduced ourselves out of control. I must admit that I am not a vegetarian and enjoy a good hamburger every once in a while, but I would much rather have left the Native Americans alone to do it their way - they were ten times kinder than us - they treasured the animal before killing it, and used every bit of it afterwards. We, on the other hand, step on and throw innocent birds across the room just because we're bigger than them. Then we dip them in scalding hot water. I really am left speechless after watching the pathetic acts in Pamela's video. I used to love KFC, so this is hard to say, but I think I will boycott it also.

Until then?
I'm reading through the Amazon reviews right now, and it is seemingly getting a good score, so I might put it on my list. But until then, my statements still remain?

Because PETA targets one fast food chain at a time to use their resources most effectively. When they declare victory, they move on to the next chain. I think I've explained this before...?

I am honestly, not trying to slander PETA (Hey, you mentioned them) here, but that just made me think of this analogy:

"Because terrorism targets one country at a time to use their resources most effectively. When they declare victory, they move on to the next country...".

I mean, yeah, targeting a sole country is an acceptable practice of war. It's done/has been done/most likely will be done in the future. It just seems though, like it's warfare, and instead of education and debate and all that good stuff, you have the sparatic attempted eradiction of facilities.

I guess I don't understand why people who hate KFC aren't complaining about the other chicken chains in America.
