Because 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.
