CHRISSIE HYNDE IN A FLAP ABOUT CHICKEN CRUELTY (PETA Alert!)

San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 3/12/03 | Daily Dish

The reality of life is that these creatures are food. However, I do agree that chickens are created with exceptional cruelty.

This is what shows the lack of logical thought where Peta is concerned(in most of the radical matters at least). Not only are these creatures food, but these creatures were created through thousands of years of purposeful artificial selection by us. They were designed to endure some "cruelty" to be a convenient food source.

Where health hazards are concerned, it only makes sense to treat chickens humanely. Not only for the chicken's sake, but for the sake of a better marketable product and a good tasting chicken dinner. I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight!

"CHRISSIE HYNDE"

The other white meat.

[Voltage]

I love animals...they are delicious!!

Ah, but it drives her crazy.

I'm not too sure about that. I remember a year (or two, or three) ago Rush dropped that song from his Bump music over permissions or something for about a week, then he had it back and explained that he (or an agent) talked to her and she gave him permission to use it. No doubt Rush and her are from two different planets, but hey, free advertising, and I bet she sold more than one album because of it.

[GOP_Raider]

Nah....I think Rush uses it just to irritate her. Which he should in my opinion.

[HighWheeler]

Sid Vicious??? You decide.

[cmsgop]

Your First Ping!

[cavtrooper21]

Ppping!
Hey, do you suppose that Sungirl and Chrissy H are the same person!!!
It would explain a lot!

[JoJo Gunn]

It's not a good thing as long as Limbaugh's use (and other's approval), gives that sewer diver a penny of royalties.

per FCC, any licensed radio station can play any part of any music any time without paying for it, as long as the music is not directly related to generating revenue.

She doesn't get a dime, and he can play it all day long.

The PETA posse assured them that they would not trespass again, but threatened they'd be back in full force if KFC doesn't change its ways

The PETA posse is great, they usually bring out young good looking females who get NAKED to make their points.

My cousin showed me how to hypnotize a chicken about a hundred years ago - he put its head under its wing and gently rocked it to and fro and the set it carefully on the ground where it remained motionless until he nudged it with his foot.

No dumber foraging animal has succeeded in history and that only because it is fit to eat after much labor and its eggs are as nearly 100% nutritious as any food known.

I watched my 75 year-old grandmother tie an old hen to a clothesline and whack its head off with a butcher knife on a dead run to avoid getting spattered with the blood from its flailing neck; about 15 minutes later when Grandma had decided it was time, she eviscerated the beast and plunged into a huge pot of boiling water, then snatched it out, plopped down on a chair outside the kitchen door and plucked feathers and pin-feathers for the next 11/2 hours.

After all this, my nostrils alive with the stench, she smiled indulgently at my displeasure, rubbed the carcass with salt and pepper and put it on the stove to cook.

I ate a lot of bread, butter and drank a lot of milk that night.

"I understand that she hates that. Rush once told a story about her coming unhinged at a concert over it."

There was a flap about it a few years ago and Rush actually used different theme music for a couple of broadcasts, but it was found out that the flap was created by some lawyer and not Chrissie herself. Her voice was heard a couple of days later saying that she didn't mind Rush using her music at all.

She better not! It's the greatest publicity any musician could ever ask for!

An upset diner began shouting at Hynde, and a screaming match ensued during which Hynde read from the leaflet, describing what happens to chickens before they become dinner.

It's like I always say: you never seem to have a big bucket of chicken blood when you really need it (a la the movie Carrie)! Someone should have done the Bluto Blutarsky "zit maneuver" with the mashed potatoes.

[muslims=borg]

Why wasn't the stupid whore arrested? I would have rammed a chicken leg down her throat.

[NonValueAdded]

Chicken ... good.

[JoJo Gunn]

I bet she's getting something. Even if she's not, it's a matter of principle. Limbaugh is using it as a "signature", and it's getting more disgusting by the day.

[Slings and Arrows]

I would just like to point out that the letters of CHRISSIE HYNDE can be rearranged to form:

DENY HER - HIC SIS
YES, DIS HER CHIN
SHY? I DENSE, RICH
HISSY HEN CRIED
DENY CRISIS, HEH
SHY CHIN DESIRE

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

Well, that's uh, interesting.
