PETA Takes Fight to Col. Sanders's Grave
Its members have protested at Kentucky Fried Chicken stores and even burned Col. Harland Sanders in effigy. But now People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is going to the grave to target KFC—actually, Colonel Sanders's resting place, Louisville's Cave Hill Cemetery. Matt Prescott, PETA's anti-KFC boss, has just put up his tombstone three sections from the Colonel. On it is a 16-line acrostic poem, with letters down the left side reading, "KFC tortures birds." Cemetery Superintendent Lee Squires isn't amused and promises to remove the tombstone. "KFC wouldn't appreciate it," he tells us. "That's politically incorrect and basically inflammatory."

KFC
I don't think they should remove the stone if they paid for it then they bought the plot the statement is true open your eyes and watch the tapes. I myself have even worked at a KFC and right on the side of the box of the chickens it says "Injected Chicken", that's what made me start wondering. I can't believe you people are willing to eat this, much less pay for it too, even if you do eat meat.
Its America
Freedom of speach... did we forget that...If it is the truth & what I can see by the tapes it is... leave it on...I am boycotting KFC as well as any other chicken providers... I won't be eating much meat at all in the coming days. This is cruel. God put animals here for our service, whether it be for food or clothing..but there is no need to be inhumane or cruel. Some of the sickest cruel inhumane people have started out torturing animals. Is that what you want to have a breeding ground to allow this behavior to manifest?
food
God put chickens here on earth to eat. To eat them, they must be killed, one way or the other.
