Have a 'Fowl' Halloween--Be Colonel Sanders!

Michael said I HAVE A PARTICULAR DISTASTE FOR KFC FOOD IT IS JUST NASTY. HOWEVER I WILLINGLY AND KNOWINGLY EAT MEAT DAILY. I APPRECIATE PETA'S EFFORTS TO ENCOURAGE COMPANIES TO BE MORE HUMANE BUT I'M CURIOUS AS TO WHAT YOUR DEFINITION OF HUMANE IS. Let's just use the dictionary definition of HUMANE which is... CHARACTERIZED BY TENDERNESS COMPASSION AND SYMPATHY FOR PEOPLE AND ANIMALS ESP. FOR THEIR SUFFERING OR DISTRESS. I'll guess that you consider yourself a humane person. Michael if you're up for having some compassion I have one little request. No I'm not asking you to stop eating meat. I'm asking this Allow yourself to feel just a little tiny bit conflicted inside. How can you not? Have you not any any minute amount of compassion for the suffering of animals? Is it possible animals experience terror and pain? I know this is a frightening idea to even consider but let's do just briefly. You say you WILLINGLY KNOWINGLY EAT MEAT DAILY. Would you be willing to look objectively at your choice of words for a moment? Can you hear the defiance? Perhaps a bit defensive. And like a brag. Like you're proud. Proud of what? Proud of your power to do what you want in the face of people who profess otherwise? But no one is telling you you cannot do what you want. Why be defensive? You sound like a thoughtful intelligent person. I know that deep down you can just consider I'm not asking you to agree just to consider that animals do not exist for the purpose of your feeding upon them. Can you consider for just a second that that sort of domination is reflective of everything dark and warlike in the world? Can you see a tiny conflict between eating a chicken or cow... and loving a cat or dog? After all what really is the difference between animals on a farm and in a pound? I've worked around farm animals. I've seen them be fearful of strangers and relaxed around people they recognize. Could you consider that any defense against what I'm saying such as cows and chickens are already bred as food by someone else etc. that a defense such as that might possibly be a justification for doing whatever the heck one wants and not letting anyone suggest they take stock of any conflicting thoughts or values no matter how small and niggling? Every person on the planet counts. You as much as me. And if you can allow yourself a tiny bit of inner conflict it's a beginning.

Humans are not omnivores. Humans clearly lack the physical characteristics of carnivores humans are anatomically herbivorous. and there is alot wrong with eating the flesh of a brutally tortured and sadistically slaughtered innocent animals.

thats a boring costume. at least in louisville.

That's one person who won't be getting any cruelty free candy from me!

To Grace I have a particular distaste for KFC food it is just nasty. However I willingly and knowingly eat meat daily. I appreciate PETA's efforts to encourage companies to be more humane but I'm curious as to what your definition of humane is. Are you suggesting that we humans omnivores should disregard our nature and not eat meat at all? If we could get companies to not be abusive and awful what would be the big deal in eating meat? My guess would be that you would still not eat it. That then raises the following question PETA advocates for the ethical treatment of ALL animals including carnivorous and omnivorous ones. Why then is it okay for those animals to be true to their nature but not us humans? Perhaps someone else could help Grace out as well ... I'm not trying to be overly difficult rather just understand why PETA wants everyone to completely boycott meat entirely.
