A moment of silence - please - in honor of the chickens who died on US 129.


Couldn’t we just sing the ole C W McCall Song ‘Wolf Creek Pass’ instead? As I recall, it was about a truck load of chickens.

A good BBQ gone bad.

Please note that BBQ was used as slang as a verb instead of it's proper use as a noun.

America is clearly a culture in decline.People are trying to tear down monuments to heroic soldiers and build monuments to dead chickens. What is worse is that they are extremely well funded and are taken seriously by far too many people.

I think PETA should also come out as anti-vulture because vultures are so disrepectful to the remains of all those poor road-kill critters.

One animals lack of speed or inability to run a zig-zag pattern leads to anothers 5 star dining out experiences.

Proof being you seldom see a dead vulture lying next to the carcass of the ‘catch of the day’.

How many accidents and deaths will that cause when people rubberneck to see what is written on the monument?

Well, (sniff) the loss of a few human carnivores will do little to compensate for the carnage that humankind unleashes against chickens...

(I guess I better throw in a sarcasm tag after posting that.)

Maybe PETA could build a monument to the more than 70,000 dogs and cats they execute at their supposed ‘no-kill’ shelters every year.

PETA??
HIGHWAY MEMORIAL??

...C'MON MAN...

Gainesville (Hall County) and surrounding areas...
...Are today the dead-chicken capital of the world...

Chicken farms that chicks to pullets in record time...
... Ship out the fattened birds daily by tens of thousands...
(McD's... BK... Zaxby's & sundry other fast-food outlets)

And for good economic measure...
....Sell the guano by the ton...

Sooo... PETA??
How many MORE memorials do we need...?

I think a plaque in the nearest Roadkill Cafe would suffice.

Plaque should read:

"Just eat around the tire tracks"
