Guest guest Posted October 22, 2004 Report Share Posted October 22, 2004 Why did the activists cross the road?To Stick Up for the Chickens!On 10/9, five of us shared PETA's message with thousands of people to ask for a boycott of KFC. It was great to see our number more than double from September's protest at the Pacifica KFC.PETA is asking KFC to eliminate the worst abuses that chickens suffer on the factory farms and in the slaughterhouses of its suppliers, including live scalding, life-long crippling, and painful debeaking. The more than 750 million chickens killed each year for KFC are tortured in ways that would result in felony cruelty-to-animals charges if cats or dogs were the victims, but KFC still refuses to make changes. As the leader in the chicken industry, KFC has a responsibility to ensure that the chickens raised for its buckets are protected from the worst cruelties.Please mark your calendars for the next two KFC Protests in Pacifica!
