Putting The ‘Chick’ In Chicken!
[guest post by Dana]
Here’s a little Ebola relief: Kelly Atlas of Oakland, who is a member of the animal liberation activist group Direct Action Everywhere, interrupted diners at a French brasserie called Bluestemspoke with an emotional plea for her “little girl” – who happens to be her pet rescue-chicken…named “Snow”. Yes. With increasing nuttiness emotion, she begged customers to think about her “little girl” and all the other little girls like her when considering what was on their plates:
“She was very abused for her entire life,” Atlas says. “She was terrified.
“She has a very determined look in her eyes wherever she goes. And she was hurt and abused her entire life because of this establishment and establishments like it.”
…
The tears continuing to stream and the emotion heightening, Atlas goes on to tell restaurant patrons how she saved Snow’s life. “Someone was going to murder her,” she says. “I went in there with other humans and I took her out of there and if I hadn’t, she wouldn’t be with me right now. She would be gone, just like all of her sisters.”
Someone was going to murder her and I can see you smiling and I can see you laughing but to her this is not funny.”
In response to the reporting on this, Direct Action Everywhere released this statement:
Direction Action Everywhere: “Violent corporations and traditions tell us that animals such as Snow are just things,” DxE activist Wayne Hsiung said. “But Snow is a living, breathing individual with the same feelings that your dog has – or that you and I have. And people across the world are waking up to that reality.”
*Customers, annoyed that their food had gone cold, clucked at Atlas as they flew the coop choosing instead to eat at at a neighboring joint. Kentucky Fried Chicken. Seems they all got a hankering…
–Dana
*That last part may or may not have happened… I wasn’t there. No harm, no fowl…
Cheep! Cheep!

Colonel Haiku (2601c0) — 10/13/2014 @ 6:38 pmAnd before I go, I just want to tell you, Snow was freaking delicious.
someguy (37038b) — 10/13/2014 @ 6:40 pmI don’t know, Dana.
The problem these days is that avian disease, chirpies.
It’s a canarial disease.
And the worst part? It’s untweetable.
Simon Jester (c8876d) — 10/13/2014 @ 6:40 pmI live in the Bay Area. If Ms. Atlas and her group pull that stunt in a restaurant where I am dining, I’ll thank them and in appreciation order bacon double-cheeseburgers (or whatever meat is on the menu) for everyone in the restaurant.
aunursa (932331) — 10/13/2014 @ 6:41 pmWhere’s this Brassiere. I’m feeling the need to eat some nice French food and enjoy telling some silly child of boomer twit to beat feet.
f1guyus (647d76) — 10/13/2014 @ 7:03 pmJust so you know, Snow has a sister.
At least, she’ll have a sister until this weekend. I’m having guests over for dinner.
Steve57 (4d34f4) — 10/13/2014 @ 7:03 pmIn memory of Snow, I’m going on the caveman paleo power diet.
Steve57 (4d34f4) — 10/13/2014 @ 7:07 pmI wonder why Atlas and her friends don’t care about the violence Snow and others produce on bugs they eat. Those bugs that JUST WANT TO LIVE!
P.S. Check out her video on Peanut Butter for a better chuckle.

Gazzer (4d1091) — 10/13/2014 @ 7:19 pmWhat a boob!
I heard this idiot’s rant on a radio show last week. I think it was Prager. Reminded me of those crazy bitches sitting in the woods crying about the “old growth” trees a while back. These clowns have entirely too much time and money on their hands, too much guilt taught to them by leftist professors and get way too much publicity. They only pull this kind of crap in places like San Fran cause if they did it around normal people we’d slap them silly and they know it.
Hoagie (4dfb34) — 10/13/2014 @ 7:46 pmIf Snow can’t play the piano I’m not surprised she’s crying. First time I’ve seen a video of chicken whisperer.

redc1c4 (6d1848) — 10/13/2014 @ 8:09 pmi was ROTFLMFAO when i first saw this story…
i’d have also stood up, interrupted her dumb a55 and told her to FO and not bother me while i was eating, had i been there.
as a member of PETA, i gives a damn what “animal rights activists” think.
redc1c4 (6d1848) — 10/13/2014 @ 8:12 pmDid anyone see a chicken in the video? I know I didn’t. So, where is Snow, Kelly Atlas? Was this stunt just a deflection to keep suspicion off of yourself? I’ve seen your type before, Kelly Atlas, all going on about this dead animal and that dead animal right after wiping the grease off your chin. I’m onto you, Kelly Atlas. You want all those fried drumsticks and grilled chicken breasts for yourself.
How do I know? Your butt is too darn big for a Vegan. Not that I noticed or anything.
Ag80 (eb6ffa) — 10/13/2014 @ 8:25 pmThey don’t call it “Generation Wuss” for nuthin’.
Bluestem is just a block or two from Union Square, so it’s going to be expensive. Four Yelp stars and the menu looks pretty good:

“Crispy Pork Belly” – yum!
ThOR (130453) — 10/13/2014 @ 8:28 pmThat means something happened on October 9th, possibly in 1532, and it definitely concerned Beijing somehow.
And ?? wants us to know about it.
All in all more informative than anything Kelly Atlas would interrupt your dinner over.
Steve57 (4d34f4) — 10/13/2014 @ 8:34 pmYeah, she named the chicken “Snow.” Do any of you know any person of color named Snow? Me either.
Racist.

Ibidem (aac810) — 10/13/2014 @ 8:43 pmHow heartless of you ThOR. I once knew a little pig being raised for slaughter. However, all his little barnyard friends joined together with a sweet girl and barn spider to save his life.
Not really. Wilbur was delicious.
Ag80 (eb6ffa) — 10/13/2014 @ 8:45 pmIf Snow really had the same feelings as myself she would think Ms. Atlas is an idiot.
kishnevi (5b384b) — 10/13/2014 @ 8:46 pmI had had the opportunity about four years ago to take about 8-10 brown shirted paramilitary utes to a Village Board Meeting along with another uniformed adult leader as part the Citizenship in the Community Merit Badge. Once there we heard a citizen argue for amending the village animal ordinance to allow people to raise chickens in their back yards. Among her arguments she claimed they were clean and quiet animals, but the Village Trustees seemed somewhat skeptical. I don’t think me and my fellow uniformed leader laughing hysterically into our hands helped matters, but it was a beautiful example of loony participatory democracy for the lads to observe.
daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 10/13/2014 @ 8:51 pmAmen, ThOR. I had Pork Belly once at the Shoreline Grill in Austin (they were probably the finest restaurant in town in their day). Practically a religious experience.
This woman is deeply disturbed and a product of tremendous privilege. So many people in our society are greatly separated from what it takes to feed and protect civilization. Even if you’re only eating wheat, it’s not like some critter or bug didn’t suffer. Nature is not and cannot be utopia. But even just barging into a business and demonizing it in these terms requires tremendous civilizing on the part of everyone who tolerated her peacefully. I’m certainly glad they did let her scream at them peacefully, but in most of human history, and much of the world today, she wouldn’t have been so lucky. And winning this freedom of speech society from the way nature would have it took force that I doubt this woman appreciates.
Anyway, the cameras give the game away as pure vanity.
Dustin (801032) — 10/13/2014 @ 8:51 pmYeah, chickens are front yard animals. Pigs go in the backyard.
nk (dbc370) — 10/13/2014 @ 8:58 pmI’m placing my bet that Kelly Atlas is not an alumna of a high school 4H or FFA organization.
elissa (e98fc0) — 10/13/2014 @ 9:02 pmBut you know who I do feel sorry for? All those poor disabled legless frogs whom heartless restaurants force to live out the remainder of their lives on crutches.
elissa (e98fc0) — 10/13/2014 @ 9:10 pmI know what you mean, elissa. I’ll never have matzoball soup. Never.
nk (dbc370) — 10/13/2014 @ 9:12 pmI feel sorry for the legless frogs because the dish is really not that good. If I want dry, tasteless meat, I can always eat Snow’s chicken breasts. Does that sound dirty? That’s not what I meant.
Ag80 (eb6ffa) — 10/13/2014 @ 9:20 pmSpeaking of breasts, does anybody know what the story is with the naked girls in Times Square? Are they there to drive away gay guys, for instance?
nk (dbc370) — 10/13/2014 @ 9:28 pmIf there are naked girls in Times Square, I think it means a Democrat is mayor.
Ag80 (eb6ffa) — 10/13/2014 @ 9:36 pm@28– Don’t feel too sorry for them. There is great potential for them to star in the next Wendy Davis campaign video. But they would have to dump the crutches and get wheelchairs. Other than that its a shoo-in.
Gramps, the original (7adb80) — 10/13/2014 @ 10:15 pmIn the history of mankind, eating meat led to a leap up the evolutionary ladder. The size of the brain grew among a list of improvements.
And relatively recently in human history, the chicken mutated into producing meat that is probably the most common source of protein. The chicken feeds the world.

There are several butcher shops in Chicago that sell live chickens. They’ll be glad to let you rescue one at $1.49/lb.
nk (dbc370) — 10/14/2014 @ 4:49 amHmmmm, one can only wonder how she feels about abortion if she is this concerned about a chicken. Something tells me I already know the answer.

daleyrocks (bf33e9) — 10/14/2014 @ 9:07 amSample size of 27, too, daleyrocks, but that was not the hypothesis we were testing. We were looking for the answer to the question, “What is the difference between erotic and kinky?” The conclusion, “A feather is erotic; a chicken is kinky”.
nk (dbc370) — 10/14/2014 @ 10:16 amOk, you don’t like Phillipe’s (I do), how about The Hat over in Pasadena? Or, we can go the nuclear option, and just go to a Tommy’s….

The sad truth is we have to eat chicken to keep them from taking over.
papertiger (c2d6da) — 10/14/2014 @ 10:31 amWhat’s the difference between kinky and perverted? Kinky is when you use a feather…perverted is when you use the whole chicken.

narciso (ee1f88) — 10/14/2014 @ 5:12 pmThe only purpose of unisex public bathrooms is to humiliate normal women, and to embarrass normal men. It’s the main agenda of the freaks. They know they are debased and degraded. They know they cannot elevate themselves to normalcy and don’t even try. They try to drag everybody else down to their gutter.
But I am surprised that Houston has degenerated so much. Is this why the Oilers left? They didn’t want to be the Houston Vaseliners?
nk (dbc370) — 10/14/2014 @ 6:12 pmHouston, there is a problem.
Yes, let’s nationalize this. America, do you want to go into any bathroom of your choice? If so, vote Democrat, if not, well maybe you should vote for someone else.
MD in Philly (f9371b) — 10/14/2014 @ 6:16 pmIt mostly affects women. It would not embarrass me very much if some lit-clicker saw what she was missing, although I would be embarrassed for the sake of a decent woman who had to share a bathroom with me. Where are the feminists on this? That’s a rhetorical question. The feminists are lesbians who recruit through debasement and degradation.
nk (dbc370) — 10/14/2014 @ 6:43 pmnk, I have a slight disagreement of perspective. I think many people are trying to pass themselves as normal, and if they can get everyone else to go along then it must be true.
First they came for those who objected to unisex bathrooms…
MD in Philly (f9371b) — 10/14/2014 @ 6:51 pmI think many people are trying to pass themselves as normal, and if they can get everyone else to go along then it must be true.
It will be true. If we all live in a sewer, living in a sewer is normal. That is the definition of normal.
nk (dbc370) — 10/14/2014 @ 6:54 pmSimon Jester #4 … you may not have heard, but your information is out of date … it used to be that all that domestic avians had to worry about was chirpies … and even that was confined to birds that like to roost on a moving perch … you know, the swingers …
And then they found a mutant strain of it … that only happens to birds in dwellings that share common walls with another single dwelling …
Yup … they have named it chirpies duplex …
Alastor (3a5e29) — 10/14/2014 @ 9:11 pmWhile there are many terrible things happening in the world, I don’t think we should let this one slip our attention. Mayors wanting to act like the thought police over the religious institutions of the city has no place in a “free” society.
MD in Philly (f9371b) — 10/15/2014 @ 4:42 amI suggest this needs its own thread.
