Wearing nothing but a banner in the front that reads, ‘The Naked Truth: KFC Tortures Chickens,’ and one in the back that reads, ‘Turn Your Back on KFC Cruelty,’ 3 sexy PETA members will lead a protest outside the Southeastern KFC Franchisee Association meeting on Monday over KFC suppliers’ abusive treatment of chickens in animal factories and slaughterhouses. Other PETA members will hand out leaflets to curious passersby.
Why are PETA’s beauties baring all? The more than 850 million chickens killed each year for KFC are tortured in ways that would result in cruelty-to-animals charges if other animals were the victims. They are drugged and bred to grow so large that many become crippled from the weight of their massive upper bodies. Many have their throats slit while they are still conscious and are scalded to death in defeathering tanks. KFC has ignored the recommendations of members of its own animal welfare advisory panel for years.
‘KFC stands for cruelty in our book,’ says PETA’s Lindsay Rajt. ‘We’re urging consumers to boycott KFC until the company stops these abuses.’
