PETA has graciously delivered some humor to my life this week. You know the crosses and memorials on the side of the road that you see when a person is killed in a car accident? Well, PETA wants those where animals have been killed on the highway. Specifically, they want a memorial set up honoring the 20 cows that were killed in two separate roll-over truck accidents in 2011. Through IDOT, families are actually able to purchase signs for $200 "in memory" of their loved ones. Cows do not have families. This is PETA's argument.
Forgive me for mocking this, it was unfortunate. Honestly, though? Where do you think those cows were headed, PETA? Here is a link to the SunTimes article about it. What do you think? Do we as Illinois-ans owe those 20 cows a memorial? I say "no". Bummer, but no.
