[4animals] KFC protest

[ottawa animal advocates]

Should we decide if should be established if it will be a leafletting/ pedestrian outreach event or a media event? I guess it would be a majority vote unless there is still an official organizer (I'm still not clear on that) it sounds more like a communal effort at this point. I kind of think that unless we have a chicken arrested for KFC, outreach might be better as KFC is kind of 'old news' for media (been in the news for years) I have gotten a clear impression over the years that  'most' media esp the biggest sources just don't care about AR the way we do...what they want is an 'exciting story' but if people want to try for media with us and signs..

STAPLES now offers a new service where they can take a photo/image and blow up it many times the original size to make it quite big and relatively clear for about 37$. If we had someone or the 'chicken' crossing the road at the Glebe KFC holding this up to traffic as opposed to a black and white sign I think this could be more effective. If interested people met up at a central location like WILD OAT and each brought 5$ we could get at least one done up maybe even two.. We could bring images of chickens and decide which one is the best.. These signs could also be re-used within the different groups for different events like Loblaws if the (or one of the images) showed a battery cage. I remember an activist mentionning something about a projector screen. I think this would be fanstastic if someone has lots of extra cash (I don't!) as it would likely require a generator...otherwise  maybe this could be considered a longer term goal with maybe a fundraiser involved. I was ready to go with a vegan/vegetarian potluck last summer before complications prevented it from happening so perhaps we could talk about that at a meeting too..

Also, I have a sign with the header 'KICK THE BUCKET' that I thought of/ did up in coloured markers with a picture of a bucket with dead chicken pieces shaped like thighs, wings etc in it  all labeled 'cruelty'....we could maybe agree on a design and artistic people could each do up a few to spread out the work. Or we could just stick to the peta black and white signs. (I personally prefer signs with an image and wording combination..) There are many possibilities but I think the main goal should always be to try to do things in a way that would appeal to the average person because they're the ones who need convincing! I'm up for the meeting..
