Next year, I think I’ll ask m girlfriend to get married at a slaughterhouse.

That is, after we’ve removed our brains, like Jack Norris, Alex Bury, PETA, Vegan Outreach, and much of the rest of the mainstream animal “rights” movement have apparently done to themselves.

Oh, sorry, did I display some critical thinking? It hurts, doesn’t it?

More power to them.

But their wedding guests will be thinking they finally jumped off the deep end.

If I ever get married you can be sure I won’t serve something that comes in between a soggy pair of buns.

Something about that just squicks me out. I wouldn’t want a fast food giant catering my wedding (assuming I ever get married), vegan or no.

We need to stop acting as if the sun rises and sets on someone or a corporation because s/he or it decides to throw a sop to us and stop serving foie gras or veal or look for more veggie friendly options. Yes, we should praise their decision, but let’s not act as if they’re so great because of one tiny step.

I think this is great! Promoting vegan options at a meaty establishment is way better than eating at an all vegan restaurant because meat-eaters are more likely to be exposed to vegan food where they are already eating than at a place they won’t even think of going.

And for people who think it is wrong to buy vegan options at KFC, how is that any different than buying vegan options or produce at a grocery store that also sells meat?

The only thing that matters to a corporation is profit. If meaty coprorations start making a profit selling vegan options then they will start selling more and more vegan options and less and less meat. Way to go PETA! Way to go KFC Canada. Congratulations Alex and Jack!

It’s great if KFC are improving their practices but surely any veggie/vegans could be giving their money to a more ethical company, especially catering at their wedding..seems crazy!

Best wishes to the bride and groom. I think it’s great! It shows that KFC Canada is definitely wiser than in the US.
Being romantic can happen any place in the world…and perhaps, their honeymoon might be in Paris or Rome!

Good luck to the couple!

This is really silly. I hope they don’t put those in the fryer with the meat. PLUS it sucks cause they are giving KFC money. That to me is not quite vegan, esp since there are proly way better vegan places up for the job.

Lame.

But maybe if i got hugs on the street i would feel different
