Pink joins Baywatch star Pamela Anderson in KFC protest
Pop singer Pink, in company with the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has launched a petition asking KFC to stop the cruelty that the more than 850 million birds killed for its fast food buckets each year, may have to suffer.

The petition says: “PETA is asking KFC to eliminate the worst abuses that chickens suffer in the factory farms and slaughterhouses of its suppliers, including crippling injuries because of cruel breeding practices and the overuse of drugs, having their throats slit while still conscious, and being dunked into tanks of scalding-hot water while still alive and able to feel pain.”

Pop singer PinkBecause birds aren’t included in the only federal animal protection law regarding their slaughter (even though they account for more than 98 percent of the animals eaten in America), KFC has been able to get away with the most horrific abuse of the chickens in their care.

The petition continues, “I urge KFC to adopt the recommendations of PETA — and its own animal welfare advisors— to ensure that the gentle, intelligent animals who end up in its boxes and buckets each day are treated with at least the bare minimum of respect.”

Meanwhile, former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson has written to KFC asking the company to improve the lives and deaths of its poultry.

Pamela Anderson has also appeared in billboards and TV advertisements calling for a boycott of KFC, as well as narrating a video exposé of KFC’s cruelty to chickens.

Actress Pamela Anderson even went as far as asking the governor of Kentucky to take down a bust of Col. Sanders from the State Capitol Building.

Pink and Pamela Anderson are among a growing list of celebrities, which includes Sir Paul McCartney, His Holiness the Dalai Lama and pop group the Black Eyed Peas, who are speaking out in public against KFC’s cruelty to chickens.
