Been to KFC Lately?

by Marta Holmberg

OK, so I really hope you haven't been spending your hard-earned money at KFC lately, since the company's suppliers sometimes scald chickens to death in feather-removal tanks and slit birds throats open while they're still conscious. Disgusting, right? KFC is responsible for the deaths of more than 850 million chickens each year, and the company continues to let the worst abuses of chickens occur. Read on to see what you can do to help chickens and score a limited-edition "Evil Colonel Sanders" bobblehead pen in the process!

We know you love organizing protests against KFC and handing out leaflets in front of the fast-food chain, but I bet you sometimes wish you could reach out to the folks who work at KFC, right? Think about it: Most of these people were probably just in dire need of some cash and got a job at KFC without knowing the horrible treatment animals go through before they land in a bucket.

That's where these handy leaflets come into play. Next time you pass a KFC, go inside and give the manager (or another employee) one of our leaflets to let him or her know why KFC needs to get its act together. Remember to be pleasant—after all, there was a time when you didn't know the truth about KFC either. If you're asked to leave, do so (because hey, you're a nice person, right?). It's that simple.

Once you use the leaflets, simply drop us an e-mail at StreetTeam@peta2.com letting us know how it all went, and—here's the amazing part—the best reports we receive will receive one of our limited-edition "Evil Colonel Sanders" bobblehead pens (while supplies last)—so get to it! And don't worry—if you don't receive a pen, you'll receive 500 Street Team points. Yup, pretty cool.
