Those harmless-looking packages in the freezer section of the supermarket aren't so harmless, according to these vegetarians, who aim to impose truth-in-labeling standards on the poultry industry. Wearing Vegas-style "chickette" costumes and combat boots, and armed with ticket "guns," the Chicks will attempt to label poultry with stickers that read, "Warning! This package contains the decomposing corpse of a small, tortured bird," at supermarkets everywhere.

Chickens on factory farms suffer painful debeaking and declawing without anesthesia. To increase profits, farmers commonly manipulate chickens genetically and feed them growth-promoting antibiotics, which often cripple them. Smothering, heart attacks from stress, and diseases from overcrowding are also common, and no law governs the slaughter of chickens.

"PETA is calling on stores and poultry producers to more accurately describe their products, now that factory farming has made the birds' lives so miserable," says PETA campaign coordinator Kristie Sigmon. "PETA's Commando Chicks are taking the battle from the field to the fridge, urging consumers to eat their veggies, not their feathered friends."
