im not just saying cruelty exists. im saying it is the norm.
the whole process of keeping and transporting poultry in large
companies like kfc is just plain cruel.
and im sure perdue, tyson, and others are just as cruel. perhaps since kfc is the most popular, its peta's ideal target, and i agree that it shouldnt be like that.
they should all be under the spotlight

JP, ive seen cruely in documentaries and i've seen cruelty with my own eyes.
yes, perhaps peta takes a one time incident and exagerates it to be the norm, which has an effect of discrediting everyone who wants to stop animal cruelty. but dont fall for it. peta are terrible ambassadors to their cause and only serve to help the opposition. in fact i hate the lot of them because when people think of the opponents to animal cruelty, they think of these assholes.
^^ Good point, especially the last part.
Sensationalism sells.............these are the same people that made a movement late in 2005 that fishing is cruelty to fish.................take the information with a grain of salt, they may be crusading for something worthwhile it just seems like alot of resource that could be used for say oh human wellness.
Hmmmm. For some reason it would be a bit galling for me if my home states most famous face was the guy who made deep fired chicken main stream. Not sure it's anything I would build a bust to him for and mount it in the state capital.
A bit like a state somewhere raising a statue to the guy who invented the ball point pen or velcro. A bit of glory perhaps, but the most dignified? Hasn't Kentucky produced anything else to be proud of? A president? A great author? A great scientist? A notable human rights activist? An artist?

Kentucky Blue Grass! Anyway as an entreprenuir he was huge and I admire him for that quality..............Why does someone have to be a poet or scientist or artist to gain notoriety.............
Yes, I guess that's true. Just rare for people in his line of work to become so famous. Colonel Harland Sanders is equally as famous as the words "Kentucky Fried Chicken" - while I honestly have no idea who invented the other mainstream fast food joints - MacDonald's, Pizza Hut, Subway. The industry just doesn't seem to lead to fame that often.
I remember in my home city they recently built a statue thing commemorating a poet (Banjo Paterson) who is very famous. He was born outside the city about a 100 years ago - fact was he didn't like the town and left as soon as he could and never returned - yet they built the memorial to him ahead of the various locals who had done so much for the town, and lived and died there. Planning committees just seem focused on certain areas - usually arts, science, politics and maybe sports, often ahead of those who suceeded elsewhere.
The guy who invented the ball point pen?
I'd actually like to see him honored. The importance of good pens has always been important to me. Nothing as annoying as being in the middle of a test and having the pen run out, only to have to finish an essay in red, or far worse, green.

So very true.
This didn't last very long.

Anderson Loses Battle over Sanders Bust
By WENN|Thursday, January 26, 2006
"Pamela Anderson has lost her bid to get the bust of Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) founder Colonel Harland Sanders removed from the state Capitol building.
Kentucky Governor Ernie Fletcher has written to the actress/model explaining the bust will stay put, despite Anderson's claim that Sanders is a symbol of cruelty to chickens.
In his letter, Fletcher wrote, "Colonel Sanders remains a Kentucky icon. His success story has been an inspiration to many.
"The industry he began has employed hundreds of thousands of workers over the years. His business and his legacy have been good for Kentucky."
Anderson has fired back at Fletcher, calling Sanders' company one "that mutilates God's creatures."
The actress has teamed up with animal activists at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to urge fast food fans to boycott KFC until the company agrees to clean up its slaughterhouse policies."
I think I'll have some Pop-corn chicken from KFC tonight.
Bon appetite KFC Lovers!

Ok.Heart of the topic- why DOES anyone want an effigy of Colonel Sanders?
This is very, very true. Look, I'm sure the man did wonderful things with a chicken. But, does that merrit having a bust in a government building, much less the capitol? Did he ever do anything other than fry chicken? Was he a war hero, political activist or notable politician?
Pamela Anderson blows....in a bad way.

Sure, we have museums and the hollywood walk of fame. He fried chicken, I don't find that noteworthy enough to be immortalized in a state capitol building. What if he had named it Arizona Fried Chicken?
I'm sure there's a place for it, but not in the capitol building. Why don't we put Elvis on the one dollar bill?
He's being immortalizing because he contributed to this being the fattest country on the planet.
