PETA Tombstone Stunt

(Louisville, Kentucky) By taking its radical animal rights campaign into a cemetery, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) show scant respect for our dearly departed.

PETA proudly placed a headstone, inscribed with animal rights propaganda, near Colonel Sanders' grave.

From PETA.org:

Visitors to Louisville's Cave Hill Cemetery--the final resting place of KFC founder Colonel Harland Sanders--will notice a new headstone just a stone's throw away from the colonel's.

The new headstone is inscribed with a moving tribute to a "Kind Friend of Chickens," but upon closer examination, the bright-red letters down the left side of the poem spell out an unmistakable message: "KFC Tortures Birds."

By going into a cemetery to disrespect the dead, PETA has shown itself to be categorically similar to the late-night vandals who knock over tombstones and deface them with swastikas.
