If you've been to KentuckyFriedCruelty.com, then you know that PETA is asking KFC to eliminate the worst abuses that chickens suffer on the factory farms and in the slaughterhouses of its suppliers, including live scalding, lifelong crippling, and painful debeaking. KFC tortures chickens in ways that would result in felony cruelty-to-animals charges if cats or dogs were the victims, but KFC still refuses to make any changes.
We've come up with just a few ways for you to help the more than 750 million chickens killed each year for KFC and earn some free stuff for yourself while you're at it. Of course, you have to join the peta2 Street Team to get in on the fun.
To help you with your efforts, please request free Kentucky Fried Cruelty campaign materials here, and e-mail peta2@peta2.com with any questions.
