Why did the chicken cross South Salina Street?

To draw attention to protesters from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and local animal rights groups demonstrating at a Syracuse KFC restaurant.

About 12 people gathered Thursday afternoon in front of KFC at 1524 S. Salina St. carrying signs calling for a boycott of the chain, citing cruel treatment of chickens at a West Virginia slaughterhouse. Meanwhile, a person in a chicken suit sat in a wheelchair and waved.

"We want people to know that they're eating at a place that probably has the worst abuses," said Joe Hinkle, a PETA member from Norfolk, Va.

A message on KFC's Web site states the slaughterhouse where the abuses occurred is no longer a provider for the chain. The Web site also states that KFC requires all suppliers to follow the industry's animal welfare guidelines.

Holding a large bucket of chicken, Jon Alvarez, of Lysander, stood behind the line of protesters. Between bites, Alvarez taunted them as they tried to hand pamphlets to passers-by.

"I'm a local consumer," Alvarez said. "I came to see if anyone here took issue that I eat chicken."

Although several cars seemed to turn away when they saw the commotion, at least a couple of people said they stopped at the restaurant just to be defiant.

"I ordered the biggest piece of chicken I could find," said Allen Mills, of Syracuse.



How did I know it had done before? Because I know the guy who did it.

I was skeptical at first, but now I am wholly convinced that you are pretty damn cool.

Does that PETA guy have a bomb strapped to his chest?

He's wearing a video screen on his chest.

The concept is funny, but the execution was sadly lacking.

It's a bogey, almost a par, but I didn't really feel like laughing.
