Tell KFC to Stop Torturing Chickens

Millions of chickens lead miserable lives and meet frightening deaths at the hands of KFC’s factory-farming suppliers worldwide. PETA India has video footage of horrific cruelty, including extreme overcrowding and crippled chickens, at KFC supplier Venkateshwara Hatcheries. PETA India has written numerous letters to KFC executives asking them to urge Venkateshwara Hatcheries to implement animal welfare standards, but there has been no response from the company. The atrocious conditions at KFC supply farms in India include chickens stuffed into overcrowded warehouses, birds immobilised by leg deformities caused by breeding for weight, barns littered with the diseased carcases of chickens and abuse by callous workers who neglect to observe even minimal standards of animal welfare.

PETA is urging KFC to establish more humane practices, including replacing cruel throat-slitting and electric stunning with gas killing. But although it is KFC’s responsibility to make sure its chickens are protected from the worst abuses, the company refuses to get its act together. You can help stop the horrific abuse of chickens by writing to KFC and telling it to stop torturing chickens now:
