PETA US Joins the ‘Chicken Wars’ With Super Bowl ‘Fight the Bite’ Commercial

Posted on by PETA

As American football fans prep for their game day halftime parties, PETA US is joining the “chicken wars” with “Fight the Bite”, a new Super Bowl commercial depicting chickens fighting back to remind those who would eat them that they’re sentient individuals – not a halftime snack.

The spot will air on sports channels during pregame programming, including in the US on ESPN, the NFL Network in Cincinnati and Los Angeles, and CBS and NBC in Las Vegas, which is the hometown of Shaquille O’Neal’s Big Chicken chain. The ad will also run in Spanish on Telemundo Las Vegas during pregame programming and across the US on ESPN Deportes during the week leading up to the Super Bowl.

PETA US’ “Fight the Bite” campaign reminds us that every chicken wing, sandwich, or drumstick cost the life of a thinking, feeling individual.

PETA US Tackles Chicken Chains Ahead of Super Bowl

As part of the campaign, PETA US will give away KFC’s Beyond Fried Chicken in nine cities and will protest at Wingstop and Buffalo Wild Wings locations across the US. Shaq’s Big Chicken chain promised years ago that it would add a vegan option – and it looks like it’s getting close! As a final push, “chickens” from PETA US will be outside the celebrity’s restaurants in Glendale, California, and Las Vegas and will make an in-chicken plea to Shaq to spare their lives by adding vegan options as soon as possible!

Why Should You and How Can You ‘Fight the Bite’?

Chickens killed for their flesh are crammed by the tens of thousands into filthy sheds and bred to grow such unnaturally large upper bodies that their legs often become crippled under the weight. Even chickens labelled “organic” or “free-range” suffer at the slaughterhouse, where their throats are cut, often while they’re still conscious. Many are scalded to death in defeathering tanks.

Going vegan is the single best thing you can do for animals, and it’s great for your health and the well-being of our planet. Get started by ordering PETA India’s free vegan starter kit today, and join PETA US in the “Fight the Bite” campaign:
