I will be arranging A time with Kfc to hand over this petition and will be delivering this petition myself by hand and peacefully to KFC's head office in Woking, Surrey. UK. (If you would like and come and support me you are welcome dates to follow) I will not be repusenting any animal right groups unless i'm approached by any groups with their support! Or I will be doing this as A one man band!!!

I all so will be inviting local news papers to come to the hand over in the hope that it will be posted in papers to make people more aware of this petition and what it stands for.

I will be asking them to look at our petition and will be asking them to consider treating their animals with the rights and respect they deserve. And will be pointing out the wording below on how KFC can clean up it's act!


YOU can make a difference merely by not buying or eating KFC products.

KFC suppliers cram birds into huge waste-filled factories, breed and drug them to grow so large that they can even walk, and often break their wings and legs. At slaughter, the birds throats are slit and they are dropped into tanks of scalding-hot water often while they are still conscious. It would be illegal for KFC to abuse dogs, cats, pigs, or cows in these ways.

KFC own animal welfare advisors have asked the company to take steps to eliminate these abuses, but KFC refuses to do so. Many advisors have now resigned in frustration.

Please join Pamela Anderson, Sir Paul McCartney, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, The Rev. Al Sharpton, and countless other kind people worldwide by not eating at KFC.

• The roughly 1 billion chickens killed each year for KFC's buckets are crammed by the tens of thousands into excrement-filled sheds that stink of ammonia fumes.
  
  
  
• The birds legs and wings often break because they re bred to be too top-heavy and because workers carelessly shove them into transport crates and shackles.
  
  
  
• Chickens throats are slit and the animals are dropped into tanks of scalding-hot water to remove their feathers, often while they are still conscious and able to feel pain.
  
  
  
• KFC lets frustrated factory-farm and slaughterhouse workers handle live birds, so many of the animals end up being sadistically abused. At a KFC in West Virginia, workers were documented tearing the heads off live birds, spitting tobacco into their eyes, spray-painting their faces, and violently stomping on them. This was discovered more than two years after KFC promised PETA that it was taking animal welfare seriously.
  
  
  
• KFC hides behind its Animal Welfare Advisory Council, even though five members of the council have resigned in frustration. One of them, Adele Douglass, told the Chicago Tribune that KFC Cnever had any meetings. They never asked any advice, and then they touted to the press that they had this animal-welfare advisory committee. I felt like I was being used.

How KFC Can Clean Up Its Act

KFC has yet to do any of the following:

• Adopt the Animal Care Standards program. This would lower the amount of ammonia in the air in factory farms, improve the living spaces and lighting in chicken sheds, prohibit the intentional starving of breeding birds, and ensure that birds are provided with mental and physical stimulation.
  
  
  
• Switch to controlled-atmosphere killing (CAK). This would prevent live birds in slaughterhouses from being abused by workers, having their throats slit, or being scalded while they were still conscious. CAK would also improve conditions for workers and decrease contamination levels in chickens flesh.
  
  
  
• Switch to mechanized chicken gathering. This would drastically reduce the number of broken bones and painful bruising that birds endure when factory-farm workers carelessly throw them into transport crates.
  
  
  
• Breed for health rather than rapid growth, and stop feeding drugs to chickens. This would reduce the rate at which birds suffer painful, crippling diseases and injuries, such as broken legs, heart attacks, and lung failures.
  
  
  
• Make all welfare standards transparent and verifiable. This would simply ensure that the animal welfare program is being adhered to through announced and unannounced independent audits (the results of which must be made available to the public through Kfc Web site).
