Al Sharpton, PETA, and KFC

Posted by Eric at 9:16 am. Filed under: General

From this New York Times article:

If we give our money to KFC, we’re paying for a life of misery for some of God’s most helpless creatures,” says Mr. Sharpton

The organization [PETA] was eager to enlist Mr. Sharpton because KFC has many stores in largely black neighborhoods and in late 2003 KFC executives told investors they were making an increased effort to market to blacks.

Generating jobs in black neighborhoods… and Sharpton is boycotting them. Seems to me that he is placing the welfare of chickens above the welfare of those he claims to stand for.

Vitamin Z says:

Stories about chicken make me want to go to KFC and order a bucket of extra crispy.

Shaggy Dog, referencing the boycott of “People Eating Tasty Animals”:

Sharpton has such a deep seated credibility this is sure to be a success.

Failed Messiah throws in some thoughts on Sharpton’s anti-semitic history.

And Michael King wonders how much Al is being paid not to eat at KFC.
