PETA Demands Dead Cow Memorials

Last year a pair of cattle trucks flipped over on an Illinois highway near Chicago. About twenty bovine were obliterated and the drivers unhurt, thanks for asking.

PETA wants a pair of highway markers to memorialize the dead cows.

PETA is demanding that the Illinois Department of Transportation okay the signs in order to draw attention to 'negligent driving' in Illinois.

IDOT spokesman Josh Kauffman says the request is doomed. Rules require  human family members who lost loved ones in highway crashes get roadside memorials - not candidates for Burger King's whoppers.

We expect PETA to take this laying down, possibly on the highway somewhere? One can only make the suggestion - its up to PETA to make the commitment.
