A Chick-fil-A in Toronto is the latest target of activists who are triggered by the fast food chain’s existence:

Protesters outside TO #ChickfilA chant “we will not be silenced.” Say they plan to protest at all 15 GTA locations planned for this chain. pic.twitter.com/so5F0hqCqM

“We will not be silenced” they said, as nobody tried to silence them. There was also a “die-in”:

But as you can see, the die-in participants didn’t prove to be obstacles for people in the mood for a chicken sandwich:

Protesters outside Chick-Fil-A at the Toronto grand opening are staging a “die-in” today…

We hope some of the protesters were comfortable on the pavement while others were inside enjoying their lunch:

One of my goals in life is to step over protestors holding a “die-in” outside a Chick-fil-A as I go and get 2 spicy chicken sandwichespic.twitter.com/giDPMTlTsk

There is nothing I enjoy more about a die-in protest video than seeing people ignoring them and just walking right through. It’s Chick-fil-A. People are going to find a way to get it, even if they have to step over hippies. https://t.co/PmqQJy77Yo

What kind of people would stage a die-in at a Chick-Fil-A?
*watches video*
Yup, just as I expected. https://t.co/Ekk87tgl3t
