Didn't Douglas Adams write something that showed how ludicrous this subject is.
Something on the lines of a cow-like animals raised that would ask you what cut
the customer would like and the animal would actually make recommendations before
going back to the cook to get butchered.  When Arthur Dent said he would prefer
a salad, the animal was offended and I believe that the waitor said something about
the "rights of vegetables" ;>  

I personally don't give a hoot about the rights of chickens (I've raised them in
the past and they are obnoxious animals).  The only thing I would have problems with
are those terrible commercials that Perdue has on the radio.  I mean, what about my
rights.  Why should I have to turn off my radio, so I won't have to suffer ;)

I find the entire subject silly and laughable, so I won't give it another
serious thought.
