KFC Suppliers slit open the throats
of conscious animals and boil them alive, chop beaks off of mother chickens,
and drug thier chickens with anti-biotics to keep them alive through
conditions that would otherwise kill them
if people are eating chicken they
are supporting cruelty to animals. If they are eating at KFC they are
supporting a company that has done nothing to prevent the worst abuses of
chickens on the farm, during transport, and at slaughter
chickens raised for KFC are crammed
into crowded sheds with tens of thousands of other birds where disease,
somthering, lung failure and heart attacks are common. After a hellish ride
crammed into tiny crates, often through extreme weather conditions, they are
hung upside down, have thier throats slit and are often scalded while they
are still conscious.
if KFC treated dogs and cats the way
they treat chickens, its executives could be locked away on felony cruelty
charges in many states.
800 million chickens are killed each
year for KFC in cruel ways, yet they have refused to do anything whatsoever
to eliminate the suffering of these animals
chickens are dosed with massive
amounts of antibiotics--three times as many as cows or people. they are used
to kill the diseases that run rampant due to the unsanitary conditions that
the birds live it, and to force the animals to grow much more quickly than
is natural. The antibiotics are then passed on to us when we eat chicken
flesh and they reduce the effectiveness of anti-biotics prescribed by our
doctors. doping animals with drugs rather than treating them properly is bad
for them and bad for us.
KFC's parent company claims to have
a comprehesive animal welfare program for its suppliers, but so far has only
scratched the surface of chicken and cattle slaughter, and has no standards
for any animal on farms or during transport, and no standards for pig
slaughter.
The Vast majourity of Yum!'s animals
are KFC chickens and yet KFC has no standards to protect them on farms or
durning transport, and refuses to get rid of inherently abusive slaughter
methods.
