Salisbury, Maryland. – PETA meets Perdue Farms executives and poultry restaurant patrons face to face with who on their plates, through the billboards that have just appeared on Maine, and, accordingly, Byrd streets.
“Chickens are intelligent, outgoing, sensitive animals that think, feel and value their life as we do,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk. “PETA billboards are encouraging everyone to think about the face behind the meal and choose delicious vegan meat that allows birds to retain the wings nature has given them.”
Perdue is known for stuffing tens of thousands of chickens into dirty sheds that smell of ammonia fumes from accumulated waste, conditions in which the disease can spread rapidly. Birds are bred so that their upper body is so unnaturally large that their legs are often crippled by the weight. In the slaughterhouse, they have their throats cut, often while they are still conscious, and many are scalded to death in emptying tanks.
PETA, whose motto is in part that “animals are not ours to eat,” is opposed to specisism, a worldview focused on human excellence. For more information on PETA news gathering and reporting visit PETA.org or subscribe to the group on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram…
The billboards are located at 419 E. Main St. and 401 Byrd St., less than a mile from Perdue Farms and close to Royal Farms, Arby’s, Subway, Back Street Grill, MayaBella’s Pizza & Wings, Sub Runners, Pinches Tipsy Tacos, and many other meat eateries.
