A attempt to turn a former KFC into the world’s first “Chicken Empathy Museum” is being made by animal rights campaigners.<\/p>\n
Campaign group PETA has written to Landwood Property Auctions enquiring about a former KGC in Fleetwood, Lancashire asking if it could “borrow” the property or it could be “donated for educational purposes”.<\/p>\n
The letter from Dawn Carr, the group’s Vegan Project Vice President states: “Visitors could learn about chickens’ intelligence and emotional lives… and enjoy delicious vegan food proving that nobody needs to kill animals for a meal.”<\/p>\n
The auction company has been contacted to comment.<\/p>\n
Exhibits would include interactive displays about chickens’ sophisticated communication skills, problem-solving abilities and family bonds, alongside displays of slaughterhouse equipment.<\/p>\n
Carr said: “Most people know chickens only as ‘nuggets’, ‘wings’, or ‘fillets’, yet these remarkable birds are intelligent, inquisitive individuals with their own unique personalities. <\/p>\n
“They can recognise dozens of other chickens, communicate through a sophisticated range of vocalisations and evenperform basic arithmetic. <\/p>\n
“Mother hens talk to their chicks before they hatch and the chicks begin communicating back from inside the egg.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A attempt to turn a former KFC into the world’s first “Chicken Empathy Museum” is being made by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":713189,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[84,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-713188","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=713188"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/713188\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/713189"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=713188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=713188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=713188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
