CHICAGO — An
animal rights group wants Illinois to install highway signs in memory
of cattle killed when trucks hauling them flipped in two separate
wrecks.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has asked for permission to
buy the markers, one in suburban Chicago and one northwest of Peoria.
The group says the signs would pay tribute to the more than
20 cattle killed as a result of negligent
driving this year.
Illinois Department of Transportation
spokesman Josh Kauffman says the request will likely be denied because
the state's Roadside Memorial Act specifies that only relatives who
lost loved ones in highway crashes may request memorials.
In 2006, Virginia rejected PETA's request for highway markers to
memorialize hogs killed in crashes on their way to slaughter at
Smithfield Foods. [GAH!]

The depravity of one that mourns the loss of a cow and celebrates abortion boggles the mind.

"We already have memorials to dead cows all over the US. Look for the golden arches."
