SICK CHICKEN TRADING CARDS

Hoping to get Asian children to go vegetarian, PETA attempts to start a trading card craze:

Animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), says it is trying to get Asian children to turn vegetarian by distributing "trading cards" depicting sick youngsters to highlight the risk of bird flu.

"These sorts of trading cards we've found are always sought after by kids."

PETA denies it's trying to scare kids into giving up meat but I'm not convinced:

The card being distributed in Malaysia shows a cartoon of a feverish girl, clutching a container of chicken as she lies in bed with a thermometer in her mouth.

"Bedah is scared that she has bird flu because lots of people who live near her keep chickens," it reads.

No more eating KFC in bed for Malaysian kiddies.
