Humans are greedy, here's yet another example...all these brainwashed, meat-addicted fools fighting over "free" flesh to slurp up and shit out the next day. What a disgusting display of savagery.

I never really liked Oprah much, and her offering "free food" - when it's not "free" and really means the horrible death of thousands and thousands of other creatures to satiate these greedy, selfish palates - is little more than a stunt to gain publicity. Talk show hosts are all the same, and she's insensitive to animal rights/bird welfare.

I'll remember that.

P.S.

The United Poultry Concerns (UPC) humane organization is encouraging folks to go to Oprah's website and protest this "giveaway." Here's the website URL: https://www.oprah.com/plugform.jsp?plugId=220

Here's what I left in the comment section, I hope she sees it and gets a clue!

"Dear Oprah:

Why couldn't you have given away coupons for free PLANT-BASED foods?

You do realize, of course, since you've stated before that you're concerned about farmed animal welfare and human health, that giving away "free chicken dinners" isn't a move in the direction of compassion towards animals, right?

You do realize that the chickens stuffed into tiny cages, who can't stand or walk, and never see the sunlight, suffer endlessly in misery and torment until the grand finale of sadism they must endure at the hands of those who dispatch them - and I say dispatch because many are NOT dead when they are dismembered, scalded in boiling water and otherwise bludgeoned to death?

You do realize that these animals are force-fed antibiotics and growth hormones and live in their own feces day and night, rendering their flesh less than safe to consume, even if one thought this were moral and ethically acceptable - which many around the world do not.

You do realize that giving away these coupons means that humans consuming this tortured, tainted and murdered flesh now will suffer the slow and insidious effects of these antibiotics and growth hormones, some of which have yet to be acknowledged by industry, let alone discovered by science?

You do realize that giving away these coupons actually rewards the meat/dairy/egg industry for abusing animals for profit because they are now getting the public into their wretched establishments to sell more of their "product," which is mass murdered animals who have been abused their entire short lives?

You do realize, therefore, that many of us wonder why you would say you care about animals, and yet do something that clearly does not support humane values, but seems more like a publicity ploy?

Just wondering...."
