Last week, Port Dalhousie's Kilt & Clover came under fire after activists from At War For Animals Niagara, an animal rights group rejecting speciecism announced they were planing to crash the annual "International Chicken Chucking Championships". FULL STORY HERE.

The event, that the bar say is a light-hearted day for regulars to engage in the unique sport, utilizing frozen chickens and markings on the ice, raises money for charity.

The story got a lot of attention ahead of the planned date for the event, and opinions have been heavily divided in the comment section.
