Americans for Medical Progress reported that after chicken magnate Frank
Purdue was involved in yet another major car accident (Purdue should have
been banned from driving years ago), Ingrid Newkirk sent him a bizarre
get well card which read, in part:
A chicken is like you in a lot of ways. The important difference
is that you can take pain killers, the police will arrest anyone they
find harassing you, you will never be transported for long hours in a
crate in which you cannot even stand up…
I don’t really like to psychoanalyze people, but Newkirk’s behavior
seems to be getting extremely bizarre in the last 3-4 years. The card
of the text reads like she might be in dire need of some animal-tested
Prozac.
