PETA’s Ad Scores Placement in the Super Bowl Program—See Who Stars in the Spread
PETA has a message for Super Bowl fans: The only wings you should eat are ones that don’t come from birds. To remind everyone that chickens are living, feeling beings who don’t want to be killed and eaten as a half-time snack, we purchased an ad in this year’s Super Bowl program that says, “Let Them Keep Their Own Damn Wings.”
An estimated 1.45 billion chicken wings will be consumed during Super Bowl weekend—that’s more than 350 million chickens killed, just for a single event.
Farms—even ones that use deceptive marketing labels like “cage-free” and “humane”—typically breed birds to grow so large that some have difficulty even walking. They’re often denied opportunities to satisfy even their most basic needs, such as experiencing fresh air and sunlight.
At slaughterhouses, chickens are shackled upside down by their legs, their throats are slit—often while they’re still conscious—and many are scalded to death.
Did You Know?
Chickens form social hierarchies known as “pecking orders,” and every chicken knows his or her place on the social ladder.
