ASHLEY hates KFC like whoa!

About Me

Make your own KFC sign at KentuckyFriedCruelty.com
I really really dislike KFC! Please boycott the chain! We're asking KFC to implement minimal animal welfare standards that would make a huge difference for the chickens that end up in their buckets. Currently, KFC is slitting open live animals throats, scalding them alive in defeathering tanks and breeding and drugging chickens to grow so fast they cripple under their own weight. Boycott KFC!
I go to school at UBC, where I'm progressing through a Bachelor of Agricultural Science specializing in Animal Studies at an extremely slow pace. Right now I'm in the middle of 'the year off' while I'm overseas working for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. By the way, UBC sucks, for real. It is extremely overpriced and filled with people who are about 34 times smarter than I'll ever be. I swear they let me in by accident, either that or I was absolutley brilliant in highschool and have rapidly progressed into the dumb fuck I am now.
I have 12 piercings and 2 tattoos, and I wish I had more. I'm also a frequent blood donor, I can't decide which I like more :)
I'm an activist, and I love it. Sometimes I care to much, but I'm glad I care at all, there are too many people in this world who don't. Making a difference is my only goal is life. I want to change the world, I really want all the people and animals in this world to be happy and live in harmony. I'm also a realist, although the last line doesn't exactly convey that. I deal with what is here and now and how I can improve that. Idealist views don't make any sense to me.
I'm a huge fan of the Vancouver Humane Society, they are an extremely rad organization- in fact, I'm damn sure I wouldn't be the activist I am today without them. www.vancouverhumanesociety.bc.ca
I love being clean but also covered in dog slobber. Being slobbery makes me feel loved for about 10 minutes, before I shower. I shower atleast twice a day and I brush my teeth atleast 3 times if not more. I'm not obcessive about it, but I do enjoy hygeine more than most people..........
I am obcessive about obtaining five servings of fruits and vegtables per day. Canned peas don't count.
I can function quite well on little or no sleep. Sleep just isn't something that fits into my schedule nicely. I love sleeping though, it's the best thing ever, so good.......
I love food and I love animals, the two don't mix well. I'm a vegan because I want to avoid getting heart disease, because eating meat and dairy products makes you fat, because we shouldn't have to lie to our kids about the food we eat, because it isn't fair and those animals don't want to die. I'm vegan because meat is bloody and dirty, because when animals hurt they scream, because no living creature wants to see her family slaughtered, because eating meat and dairy products causes impotence, because you wouldn't eat your dog or your cat, because mad cow and avian flu are in Canada, because it's violence and cruelty we can stop, because no one should have to kill for a living and because if you wouldn't do it you shouldn't pay someone else to. I'm vegan because no one deserves to die for your taste buds, and they don't have, going veg saves 95 animals a year www.goveg.com

My Interests

Animal rights, closing down KFC (Davie street is going down!) www.KFCcruelty.com singing songs about spaying and neutering with Jess sometimes while intoxicated, being naked in public (but only if it's for a good cause), hot vegans with neutered dogs, human rights (EQUALISM, gay and lesbian rights including the allowance of same sex marriage, children and seniors rights), the anti-war movement www.mawovancouver.org brocolli, soy icecream, KB's custard (I miss Norfolk), long distance running, smoothies, old people, the sky train, eating brownies with my friends, my bunnies, vegan supplements, being healthy, protesting, getting animals in the news, Canada, ruining the Cloverdale Rodeo www.bucktherodeo.com not having chicken thrown at me, wearing a yellow bikini for as long as possible

I'd like to meet:

A good-looking vegan with a neutered (or spayed) dog, Steven Harper (but only so I can throw a tofu-pie in his pretty face), a vegan cowboy, Miss Cloverdale Rodeo (more tofu pies right here). Oh, and Fur wearers so I can give them a piece of my mind!!

Do you want to help get hens out of cages? Then take the Chicken Out! pledge.
Visit http://www.petitiononline.com/nocages/petition.html and follow the instructions! Thank you for helping educate consumers on how small changes in our purchases can have a huge impact on the lives of animals.

Music:

ANYTHING BUT COUNTRY!!! I really don't give a shit if you spilt bbq sauce on your tshirt, rode a defenseless bull for eight seconds or looked up some chick's mini-skirt, write a good song and get back to me.

I like music with a message, and it has to be an ethical message of course. I listen to music to be inspired. Right now I'm a fan of Propaghandi, Goldfinger and my closet band, Greenday. Buffalo also has me intrigued with Crowned King and Anti-flag.

Movies:

Meet your meat is the best movie ever. You can check it out at www.meat.org . I give it two thumbs up! I'd even give it three if I could......2 thumbs and a big toe?!

Television:

I don't really have time for TV, but when I do, it's all about Friends. I really think TV is over-rated though.

Books:

My favourite book is 'Free the Animals' by Ingrid Newkirk. If you haven't read it, you should, check out the catalogue at www.peta.org.

I'm also a big fan of 'Fast Food Nation', 'The Seven Habitats of Highly Effective People', and 'The Story of a Hamburger'.

Heroes:

You can be my hero if you do one of two things
1. Boycott KFC
2. Stand up for something you believe in (as long as it's not something dumb)

In the airport, random thoughts

Today I made a huge investment, a fruit salad that cost 5 dollars. What's with the over-priced airport food? It wasn't even that good. I would expect that when you buy a very small portion of food for...
