PETA Opposes A Tribute To Kentucky Fried Chicken

It was the relentless and effective lobbying power of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) that landed Mike Vick behind bars. I love animals, but I'm not a chicken and I will take on PETA when they go too far.
This article from the Associated Press is an example of PETA's penchant for overreacting:
"Frankfort, Ky. State Rep. Charles Siler is sponsoring legislation to assign the designation to KFC's "finger lickin' good" chicken, first served by Colonel Harland Sanders in 1940.
The late colonel's fried chicken deserves the title because of the worldwide attention and economic benefit it has brought to the state, Siler said. KFC, a subsidiary of Louisville-based Yum Brands Incorporated, has 11,000 restaurants in more than 80 countries.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals bristles at the idea. The animal rights group claimed that the chickens KFC serves are abused, even tortured."
I usually support PETA, but this time PETA might as well be an acronym for "People who Enjoy Eating Tasty Animals". You can have your hot dogs made from mystery meat, or your burnt hamburgers, give me some fried chicken!
PETA gained a lot of new members by taking on the vile Mike Vick, but they will hurt their cause by demonstrating against the delicious Kentucky Fried Chicken.
