How long before PETA whines about this?

[HolyWarrior]

BLACK Hawk helicopters, the Screaming Eagles paratroopers . . . now the US army has a new elite winged unit – desert chooks.

Yesterday, it was revealed that American troops going into battle in Iraq will use chickens to detect chemicals or nerve agents.

Despite carrying the latest in military technology, the US is concerned pollution from oil installations will clog up detection equipment, hindering efforts to pick up traces of poisonous gases or chemical agents.

Chickens will be placed in cages on the top of their Hum-Vee vehicles.

The smallest traces of gases or chemicals will kill the birds, warning the troops to put their gas masks on.

Soldiers have dubbed the operation KFC – for Kuwait Field Chicken. Hens were used in a similar role in the 1991 Gulf War.

I'll bet on Wednesday, February 26.

ugh...PETA will have a fit They value the life of chickens more than the lives of humans. I wrote a research paper on PETA. Its shocking and disgusting some of the things they say and do...but thats their plan. Bad publicity is publicity just the same.

Where are the all the PETA haters coming out of the woodwork from?

[KrazyHorse]

We were hiding in the woodwork?

I don't hate PETA; I just think they're a bunch of loons.

See their letter to Yasser Arafat for details.

[monkspider]

Sure they're loons, but I like 'em.

[HolyWarrior]

Nah, Monk. The meat's too stringy from eatin' nothin' but veggies.

i think they seriously hate people more than they love animals

**** PETA

notice how they didn't complain when those ******* anti-war demonstrators punched a horse and dragged it to the ground. That is because most PETA members are also anti-war demonstrators.

If I were to have any respect for PETA at all, I would expect them to put up a reward and force prosecution on the person who punched a police horse.

I think it goes beyond being little bit loony; it's more like a major mental disorder. Hmmm, let people die or let chickens die.... Let me think.
