PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — PETA has paid $200 to place ads blasting KFC and dog breeders on the cremation urns of a comedian who is dying of colon cancer.
Earlier this month, Aaron Jamison of Springfield offered ad space on two urns that will hold his remains so his wife wouldn’t be left with funeral costs.
Since then, the $800 cremation cost has been covered, and donations have helped pay some of Jamison’s medical bills.
One ad from the animal rights organization reads: “I’ve Kicked the Bucket — Have you? Boycott KFC.” The other reads: “People who Buy Purebred Dogs Really Burn Me Up. Always Adopt.”
