PETA: Eating Chicken Results in Birth Defects

(Buffalo, New York)

The annual National Buffalo Wing Festival took place in (of course) Buffalo, N.Y., and thousands enjoyed the sights, smells, and especially tastes.

But wouldn’t you know that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals had a bone to pick, of sorts, with Drew Cerza, who runs the whole belly-filling shindig.

And this time (yes, PETA has come after Cerza and fest before), the animal-rights group wasn’t merely concerned about chickens.

PETA asked Cerza to bar pregnant women from taking part in the annual wing-eating contest because when they consume poultry, it might harm the physical development of male babies’…sex organs.

To wit: Birth defects “including smaller-than-average penises for newborn boys,” wrote PETA’s associate director of campaigns Lindsay Rajt in her double entendre-filled missive, the Daily Caller notes.

The researcher said the link between chicken wings and size of offspring's genitals is tenuous. Nevertheless, notice that PETA classifies smaller-than-average genitalia as a birth defect. Interestingly, I'd frankly agree with the assertion that membership in PETA is a brain disease.
