BUCKEYE, Ariz. A judgemental chicken stares down its beak at Interstate 10 drivers through a billboard coming soon to the Valley. The message nearby reads “If everyone were vegan, it wouldn’t have happened.“
The it in this case is a fire that happened on Saturday at Hickman Farms that killed more than 160,000 chickens. The billboard is to commemorate, not only the animals that died in the fire, but all those other ones suffering on that farm daily, said Amber Canavan, a senior campaigner for PETA.
