This spokescock represents Chicken in the Rough, the world's first fried chicken franchise. Cue the trumpets!In the prime of his life, out there on the links, he shows off a plump drumstick in Depression-era knickerbockers. Puffing away on his cigarette—the meat's smoked from the inside, one supposes—he is the picture of manliness.
And do you see? The rooster's priority—the one concern ruffling his feathers—is the ball's bad lie. He's in the rough, his round proceeding so poorly that he has snapped his putter. (Possibly using telekinetic powers?)
That he will be killed, hacked apart, breaded, and fried is not on his radar. His fate is a mere triviality compared with his do-or-die golf game! His apathy serves his masters well. This one won't kick up a fuss.
But linger not on the golfing cock! Turn instead to the caddie chick, that aspirational wundervictim! If all goes according to his fondest dreams for the future—"I'll gladly be fried for Chicken in the Rough!"—he will follow in the footsteps of his elders. He too will be dunked in boiling oil, thereby becoming part of the oldest fried chicken franchise's fabled history!
Dream big, little one. Dream big.

Come on, people! Don't you know that ALL animals dream of being killed and eaten? That's what all these folks are telling us every day! They wouldn't lie just to make money, now would they?
Seriously, though, I am not a vegetarian, but as I see this kind of thing, it really makes me consider it. I have become much more aware of these depictions than I used to be, thanks to your site. Combined with knowledge of what really goes on with factory farming, I am starting to become a bit shy about eating meat. You just might make a convert yet!
Keep up the good work.
I'm vegetarian, but the sheer pissiness of most vegan blogs almost makes me want to eat meat. Almost.
Let's put it this way. I don't think that ingesting dead humans is wrong. Why would I think ingesting any other animal is wrong?
Would you think killing a human was wrong?
That's the issue. Not the eating of the animal, the killing of it.
I'm vegan and I don't have a problem with the idea of eating something that died naturally. I wouldn't do it--because uh, ew--but I think it should be pretty obvious that the EATING of the animal (or human, as it were) isn't the problem here.
Fuck no.
Thinking life is special? I wouldn't do it-- because uh, ew--but I think it should be pretty obvious that living isn't special.
