Those people are nuts.
Of course, there are all kinds of arguments to be made about the very concept of rights, why people have them and animals don’t. Animals can (and should) have legal protections, but not rights. Why? Because we’re not savages, and most people don’t like seeing any animal treated cruelly, which doesn’t preclude eating them. But, back to the animal rights nuts.
Now it seems there’s a subset to the animal rights kooks; now, there are chicken rights kooks. And they’re committed enough so that one of them glued himself to the chicken cooler in (of course) a Trader Joe’s.
