Hollywood celebrities often hit the red carpet with a chick on their arm … but not like comedian Andy Dick. When his limo pulled up to the party that MTV threw to launch his new reality series, The Assistant,
Andy lugged a wheelchair out of the trunk to roll his date—a
7-foot-tall crippled chicken carrying a “Boycott KFC” sign—into
the star-studded bash. Inside, Andy and the chicken circulated a PETA
petition urging KFC to stop some of its cruelest farming and slaughter
methods.
Andy isn’t the only celebrity to speak out about KFC’s cruelty
to animals: He joins stars like Sir Paul McCartney, Pamela Anderson, Bea
Arthur, and Russell Simmons in helping to pressure the chicken chain to
upgrade its farming and slaughterhouse standards. KFC has ignored the
recommendations of members of its own animal welfare advisory panel and
continues to allow its suppliers to cut the beaks off baby chicks without
painkillers and scald live birds in defeathering tanks.
