The proposed 10-foot tombstone that People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has requested be placed on U.S. 129 at the site of a wreck involving a tractor-trailer carrying live chickens.
A roadside memorial could be erected to honor chickens killed in a wreck last week in Gainesville. Sarah Segal, a member of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and an Atlanta resident, has applied to the Georgia Department of Transportation to place a 10-foot-tall memorial tombstone at the site on U.S. 129/Athens Highway near Wilson Road for one month. The Jan. 27 wreck injured a Hall County Sheriff’s Office deputy driving a pickup truck and the driver of a tractor-trailer carrying the live chickens.
