Apparently Miley Cyrus rescued a chicken on the set of her new movie, Hanna Montana: The Movie.  Her costar Jason Earles had this to say:

“Miley picked it up thought it was real cute and decided she needed to save this chicken. So she put it in a cardboard box with some pine straw and got her mom to take it home…  She is funny with animals — she was like ‘I have to have that chicken’. She falls in love like you wouldn’t believe.” The sweet 16-year-old admitted she actually stole “a few” chickens but it was because “they were sad to be working.”

So, she receives an award from PETA, something called the “Compassionate Citizen Award”.  Listen, I appreciate a reward system as much as the next girl.  I do, really.  I even think drawing attention to people doing the right thing is important and awards are a good way to do that.  I guess I just wish that the connection would, at least, be mentioned that all animals deserve to be saved, not just ones that are “cute and sad”.  It drives me nuts.  Maybe it’s just me.  Is it just me?
