AR-News: (US) Woman's cause takes her to KFC

[from Garden City Telegram]

Rachel Bjork rode into town with chicken on her mind.

But it wasn't a two-piece extra-crispy dinner that brought the 32-year-old
Seattle native to the local Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, at least
not the end product.

Bjork and her trusty Raleigh cross bike were traveling across the country
to talk about the suffering the birds go through in order to become a KFC
dish.

"They are the most abused of all animals raised for food," she said. 
...
A vegetarian for the last 10 years and a vegan for the last three, she
said she isn't asking people to live the same way she does.

"I wish, but I'm realistic," she said. "I just hope people think about
what they eat. Those same animals full of medication are eaten by people,
and you wonder why people have health problems."

About halfway through a bicycle trip to PETA's Norfolk, Va., headquarters
in a journey she began Sept. 9, Bjork said the stops in between are pretty
flexible.
