PETA Asks City Officials to Place 5-Foot Chicken Statue at Crash Site

Posted on July 24, 2013

After a recent truck crash in Salem, Oregon dumped 5,400 chickens into a car dealership parking lot, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) asked city officials for permission to erect a memorial 5-foot, 250 pound chicken statue to be placed at the crash site.

Are you shaking your head like we are?

, PETA official Danielle Katz claims “the best way to prevent crashes such as this one is to go vegan, because chickens shouldn’t have to make the terrifying trip to the slaughterhouse at all.”

The City of Salem and the Oregon Department of Transportation denied PETA’s request, determining that the statue would be a distraction and safety hazard.
