Subject: i love a good chicken

I think it it totally upsetting that someone as anti-chicken as you could even have a website. That is disgusting. I am one of the people who worked hard to save this poor chicken\'s life and I don\'t have anything to apologize for. I think it is meat! So there!!! http://www.nationalpost.com/search/site/story.asp?id=0DF62564-772C-4DD8-AB47-29A4688EA010

I responded with this email....

Dear mama mia,

I love chicken too. As I said, I order Spicy Chicken whenever I go to Wendy's.

I also love strawberries, oranges, carrots, cookies, cake, ice cream, etc.

None of which are meat and neither is chicken. Congrats on helping to save the chicken. Hopefully, it will taste good at someone's table.

After receiving a bounce back from the email I sent, this is an email I will send when I find the chicken who emailed me....

Dear mama mia,

Obviously you are accustomed to saving chickens as you relate to them quite well.

This was found on Dictionary.com

chick·en ( P ) Pronunciation Key (chkn)
n.

1. The common domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus) or its young.
Any of various similar or related birds.
The flesh of the common domestic fowl.
2. Slang. A coward.

Although chickens of the first definition are not able to email due to their computer illiteracy, you are obviously a chicken of the second definition. When you are not even willing to leave your correct email address when you whine, it puts you in the coward category.

Real meat leaves real email addresses.
