Good day all. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, (PETA), not to be confused with People Eating Tasty Animals, has a long long history of amazing idiocy, not to mention hypocrisy. They also have absolutely no sense of humor at all.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Recently, they discovered a road in a small town in Idaho with a name that they found utterly offensive and demanded that it be renamed. The name of this road? Why it\u2019s Chicken Dinner Road<\/a>! You can see how the perpetually offended were offended by this name. As soon as they found this road, they sent a letter to the mayor of Caldwell, Idaho demanding that it be changed. They mayor has replied to their demands, and has done so in a way to really torque off the perpetually offended. Here are the details from Fox News<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

The mayor of a small Idaho<\/a> town said there was “NO WAY, NO CHANCE” he would consider a request from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals<\/a> (PETA) to rename a street called Chicken Dinner Road to something more fowl-friendly. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

PETA sent Caldwell Mayor Garret Nancolas a letter on July 3 asking him to change the name of the mostly deserted rural road. The animal-rights group said it opposes “speciesism” and asked the name be changed to just Chicken Road. <\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cJust like dogs, cats, and human beings, chickens feel pain and fear and value their own lives,\u201d said the letter<\/a> from Tracy Reiman, PETA’s executive vice president. \u201cPETA is asking Mayor Nancolas to change this road\u2019s name to one that celebrates chickens as individuals, not as beings to kill, chop up, and label as \u2018dinner.’\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Mayor Nancolas had some problems at first believing this was a real request.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I first received the letter, I thought it was a joke,” he wrote. “I literally laughed! When I realized the letter was for real, it made me extremely irritated that they would waste our time with such a ridiculous request!”<\/b><\/p>\n

Ahhh, but Mayor, the Progressive holier than Thou types live for making ridiculous requests and wasting people\u2019s time. It makes them feel important. Of course, being the ever so wonderful and intellectual elite that they are, they didn\u2019t actually bother to do their homework, or look at a map. The good mayor Nancolas was kind enough to inform them of their error.<\/p>\n

The road in question is not even in Caldwell’s jurisdiction, the mayor said, adding that even it if was, there would be “NO WAY, NO CHANCE I would ever consider this truly unbelievable request!!” <\/b><\/p>\n

In other words,<\/p>\n
