Out at Western Hills High School in Benbrook, a couple of baseball players were kicked off the team and disciplined after allegedly “sacrificing” chickens in order to bolster the squad’s performance. (The team’s record is 7-15.) Now PETA’s jumped into the act, calling on the school to form an “animals rights club” in response.
Gotta admire PETA’s ability to pounce quickly on a hot topic. But, an “animal rights club”? No sane person condones offing chickens in the name of some silly superstition. And, these guys have already been punished. Plus, how many millions of us are “guilty” of wolfing down slaughtered chicken parts every day? Doubt if the dead birds know or care about the distinction.
