Rite Aid stores are selling a lollipop for kids on a rubber plucked
chicken stick. The chicken's legs are tied together. Please tell Rite
Aid to stop selling this offensive item that teaches children to
laugh at dead and abused animals and encourages them to practice
cruelty to animals as a joke. Rite Aid is irresponsibly selling a
message of violence and cruelty to children. Tell Rite Aid to get rid
of the dead rubber chicken lollipop immediately and ask them to
respond to your concern in writing as soon as possible. The dead
chicken-lollipop is described on the label as "a tasty treat on a
classic schtick." Tell Rite Aid this nasty "humor" is inappropriate
and out of step with the times.

Update 10/13:
The district manager of 22 Rite Aid Stores in Virginia, Jeff Suriano,
promptly removed all of the chicken tootsie roll lollipops from the
stores he oversees. People should thank Rite Aid and request that ALL
RITE AID STORES FOLLOW JEFF SURIANO'S EXAMPLE.
