'Turkish teenagers die of bird flu' (BBC)

According to PETA, "Chickens are inquisitive, interesting animals who are as intelligent as mammals like cats, dogs, and even primates. They are very social and like to spend their days together, scratching for food, cleaning themselves in dust baths, roosting in trees, and lying in the sun."
Well, now we can add HARBINGERS OF THE FUCKING APOCALYPSE to that cockle-warming little orgy of anthropomorphization. The only upside of the imminent global pandemic will be watching the PETA activist who recently changed his name to KentuckyFriedCruelty.com scratching for food and cleaning himself in dust baths in the cold, harsh future so close at hand, assuming his little feathered friends (as intelligent as primates!) don't kill him first.
