PETA to Hasselbeck -- "Cluck You!"

Whoopi's long overdue employment announcement wasn't the only news on "The View" yesterday. Elisabeth Hasselbeck revealed the thigh slapping news that she has chopped off a chicken's head -- and PETA thinks that's just foul!
Chicken and Elisabeth Hasselbeck
After using hand motions to describe how to accurately decapitate a chicken, grossing out the audience more than she usually does, polite talk then resumed. Now Lizzy's in the soup with PETA, and they had this nugget for the right wing chicken winger:


"PETA has two words for Hasselbeck, 'Cluck you!' Next to Barbara and Joy, who expressed compassion, Elisabeth sat there chirping about the joys of killing defenseless birds. Conservatives love animals too, and she ruffled a lot of feathers today. Now that Whoopi has joined the show, maybe it's time for Hasslebeck's head to go on the chopping block."

Reps for "The View" had no comment.

91. Both of my parents were raised on farms in Colorado, and they raised chickens too. Sometimes you have to kill some of them for food. My grandmother did it for over 75 years. If Elisabeth was on Survivor, her group wasn't the only one that had to kill a chicken and cook it. It is a fact of life unless you are a vegan.

92. PETA can eat me. They are a group of fanatical dumbasses who take a good cause - humane treatment of animals - and turn it into a joke with the depths of stupidity they reach.

Also, why is it always mentioned that Elisabeth is a conservative? I don't hear everyone categorizing Barbara Walters and Joy Behar as liberals everytime they're mentioned, though obviously they are or else Elisabeth's political views wouldn't be noteworthy.

Liberals: Fighting to keep free speech free - as long as you don't have an opposing opinion.

93. so what are you supposed to wine and dine the chicken before going in for the kill? guess people shouldn't eat turkey's for thanksgiving anymore either!
Peta takes it toooo far sometimes. and so do the idiots who agree that everyone should be a vegetarian.

94. I posted meetyourmeat.com for all of you callous people posting the trite and overused "LOL im in yer internets eating ur chicken" comments. Do you have the guts enough to actually watch what you're talking about happen? Animals feel pain and fear just as humans do, there's no reason they should be tortured so even if you do feel you have to eat their flesh despite all of the great alternatives available now.

In China they eat cats and dogs and we think that's horrible over here because we're raised to think of dogs and cats as companion animals, not food. Cows and chickens are just as smart as dogs and pigs are actually proven to be smarter--and quite closely linked to humans in terms of DNA--and if raised as pets behave just the same as a cat or dog would. What makes us eating pigs, cows, and chickens any different then Asian countries serving up cats and dogs? Because you've been told it's different your whole life, just as they have? Once you've been unplugged from the matrix of the meat industry there's no going back--it's hideously inhumane and a living nightmare. To answer that reality with "yum" is incredibly ignorant, immature, and downright brutal.

The problem animal lovers everywhere have with Elizabeth's description of the death of the chicken is the brainless smile she had on her face as she described with glee how the poor thing suffered. That was really unnecessary, and just further proof that she's a hideous individual with no moral character--it's been replaced by a fascist political agenda.

The View would do well to get rid of this sadist!

97. God made animals
He cooked and ate animals and told us it is okay to do it, what kind and why not for the others.
People eat meat.. It's good for you.
Get over it.

98. All you people moaning about the 'poor chicken' .... do you EAT chicken? It didn't commit suicide to make it's way to your plate you know. Grow the F up.

99. She is the worst thing on that show. I don't get why they keep her. She's stupid and boring, never adds anything of any value to any topic, and her ignorance is only matched by her lack of compassion for anything that is not right wing. I wish her baby to grow up to be a flaming queen.

102. This woman is a disgrace to women everywhere.
A war monger, a bush monger, and now a cruelty monger.
Take her OFF - She's why I never watch anymore!!

103. OK Haley, I have seen cows killed and I admit that it is
pretty awful. But I eat meat it has nutritional value. So if we need meat
how does PETA suggest we kill them humanly?
If your goal is to create a meat free world you should quit while you are even.

104. To Joe Tyler, #81:
Boy are you retarded. Say hi to Opie!

Posted at 2:02PM on Aug 2nd 2007 by Joe Tyler is an idiot, pass it on

105. Oh come on! Don't you people realize the chicken has to die so you can have your fried chicken dinners? My great grandma went out to the chicken yard every week and got a chicken and took it over to a tree stump where she kept the axe and whacked its head off, hung it upside down on the clothesline (where it flapped for awhile), defeathered it, cut it up, and served it to us for Sunday dinner. Guess what - someone has to kill the cows for your Big Macs too!
