Manti Got Buffaloed—but You Shouldn’t
Manti
Te'o
may have been buffaloed by a fake girlfriend, but sometimes “fake” is actually better. That's why PETA created this billboard
urging football fans to avoid unnecessary roughness to chickens on Super Bowl
Sunday by intentionally grounding real chicken wings and opting for play-action fake fowl instead:
Those animals in PETA's “Glass Walls” video? Unlike Manti's make-believe girlfriend, their deaths are real. Birds
slaughtered for their wings and other body parts are often dropped into tanks
of scalding-hot water while they are still conscious and aren't covered by even
the meager protections of the Humane Slaughter Act.
The price of chicken wings is currently
skyrocketing because of higher feed costs caused by this summer's drought,
which makes now the perfect time to try vegan wings, such as Gardein Classic Style Buffalo
Wings, a favorite of vegetarian and former Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams.
This
Super Bowl Sunday, opt for healthy and humane faux wings (find recipes at PETA's
Living page). That way, nobody gets hurt.
