PETA Wants Roadside Memorial For Chickens Killed In Crash

BRYAN (October 9, 2014) The animal rights group the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants to erect a 10-foot high roadside memorial at the site where an 18-wheeler loaded with chickens overturned last month in Bryan.

PETA is requesting permission from the Texas Department of Transportation to place the memorial at the intersection of Highway 21 and FM 2818, the Houston Chronicle reported.

On Sept. 30, a Sanderson Farms truck hauling about 5,500 chickens overturned there when the load shifted.

Some of the birds were killed.

The memorial would bear the inscription, “In memory of the hundreds of terrified chickens who suffered and died at this spot September 30 2014. Go Vegan, PETA."

Fm:

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.

I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Lol.. I'm sorry to laugh but really?

But wait..there's more! The chickens were being transported to a processing plant when the accident occured.

Although some of its members have good intentions, peta is a terrible organization. They've done ad campaigns in the past comparing chickens and pigs to victims of the holocaust. Animal "shelters" that they run have been caught time and time again depriving animals of basic care, as well as euthanizing over 95% of the pets they take in.

The chicken memorial, while laughable, is not surprising...peta is all about publicity and money.
