Bird cries heard throughout Binghamton as PETA sheds a light on animal cruelty
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Chicken screams echoed down Main Street in Binghamton on Friday, as PETA parked a truck in front of a local restaurant, encouraging people to go vegan. PETA parked its hyper-realistic chicken transport truck called Hell on Wheels in front of the local Kenndy Fried Chicken in Binghamton, and just a few buildings down from Popeyes. The outside of the truck is covered with images of real chickens that are crammed into crates, on their way to slaughter. Plus, the truck blared recorded sounds of the birds' crying, with the goal of turning people to veganism. PETA to 'bombard' Binghamton chicken shop with bird cries A campaigner with PETA, Wendy Fernandez, says the truck has toured across the country, from California all the way to Florida. 'Chickens, like all animals, want to live free and not suffer. And it's very easy to do that nowadays with the array of vegan foods available at every grocery store and nearly every restaurant. We want to open dialogue even with restaurant owners and encourage them to add vegan meals to their menus,' said Fernandez. The truck was handing out free, vegan starter kits, filled with beginner vegan recipes. Kennedy Fried Chicken was closed while the truck was parked out front.

PETA to ‘bombard' Binghamton chicken shop with bird cries
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – PETA has a noisy, hyper-realistic protest planned for a Binghamton chicken shop Friday afternoon. PETA announced that on Friday, May 9, around noon, hungry customers of Kennedy Fried Chicken and Gyro are 'in for an earful' when PETA's life-size, mock chicken transport truck named 'Hell on Wheels' will 'bombard them with actual recorded sounds of birds' cries.' The truck, covered with images of crated chickens, will also play 'a subliminal message every 10 seconds suggesting that people go vegan,' the announcement said. PETA says the objective is to remind chicken-lovers that the food industry's treatment of the bird is cruel, and that the only meal humans should eat 'is a vegan one.' It comes in light of the widespread bird flu issue in the US this year. 'In the meat industry, chickens are confined by the tens of thousands to severely crowded, filthy sheds and bred to grow such unnaturally large upper bodies that their legs often become crippled under the weight. Hens used for egg production are crammed together inside wire-floored cages where they don't even have enough room to spread their wings. At slaughterhouses, mechanized blades slit their throats—often while they're still conscious—and many are scalded to death in de-feathering tanks,' PETA said. PETA says the protest will start outside of Kennedy Fried Chicken and Gyro, but will also target other restaurants serving chicken and eggs.
