Animal Rights and Wrongs

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) may have over-reached with its over-the-top attitude. According to the AP, PETA staged a protest in Utah over the way Kentucky Fried Chicken slaughters its primary food staple -- chicken. The protest drew less than a dozen concerned animal rights supporters, but it also drew nearly three dozen diners -- showing their support of KFC with their wallets and stomachs!

Meanwhile, in Minnesota, Governor Tim Pawlenty says he's going out to dine on Walleyed Pike, in the wake of a PETA request that he declare the state fish off limits to fishing. He also says PETA should keep its nose out of "Minnesota's proud fishing lifestyle"!

Think folks are getting tired of being told what they should and should not do by a bunch of "do gooders" who have nothing better to do than scream and berate average Americans? I thought so.
