I'm all for it personally. This is Britain, let's embrace the eccentricity!

[Ste]

1,500 chickens died on the M62?

That begs the question....

[ThoughtContro...]

Do they want to place an Auschwitz style memorial plaque at the frozen meat and meals counter of every Asda and Tescos up and down the country, to commemorate the millions of chickens and other mystery meat animals that get sold every week?

I got caught up in the aftermath of the chicken crossing the road mess. M62 was grid locked for bloody hours.
KFC have now got an offer on chicken burgers.

I have seen a memorial to birds before. Army Carrier Pigeons I think, in the gardens on Worthing sea front, hidden away someplace there.

Well done the paper for publishing PETA's loony rantings in full.

"Readers can save these animals from a life a pain and suffering by leaving them off their plates.”

Let's all become vegetarians tomorrow and then it'll become economically unviable to keep millions of livestock alive until they die of natural causes, so we can have one big massacre of them all at once.

Where we're these chickens being transported to??

A slaughter house i suspect to become tasty tasty meat for us to eat!

PETA - fuck you, if a plaque goes up for some fucking chickens the world has officially gone to rat shit. I rarely see plaques or memorials on motorway a for PEOPLE that have died on there, so some chickens can get to fuck.

That is all!

Just because Man is to thick to understand vegetables and plants doesn't mean they don't have emotions. Lets liberate the Carrots of this world.

Surely the point of a memorial is to remind/be visited...

What are the animal-rights brigade planning to do, take coach loads of chickens to visit it and mourn at the site

Those chickens were being brought to a slaughterhouse according to the article.

That's like putting a memorial up for little-known death row inmate who died in a prison bus crash on the way to his execution.

could have been worse, if it had have been in Ireland there would have been horses instead of chickens.

Was not far from me that, my cousin put up a post on Facebook, "Anyone want to come help save the chickens?" - I like animals and all that and all for helping them, as chickens are pretty cool actually but a memorial? Our country is beyond fucked.

[drbaig]

Yeap, that caused traffic jams. Good thing bikes can filter eh!

But it was still horrendous.

You get these thick fuck's all over the world, alot of people can't accept that animals have to die, they would probably have all crocodiles arrested for taking down wilder beast in the African river's aswell if they had half a chance.

I'm not quite sure why these chickens have been free to take away for new homes either, somebody will own them, i doubt people get free cars if a car transporter crashes
