David Fitzjohn, managing director of KFC’s parent company in the UK, hasn’t gotten quite as much attention as his U.S. counterparts, so we want all of you to let him know that this cruelty won’t be tolerated in Europe either.
KFC’s chickens are bred and drugged in order to make them gain weight quickly, which often causes their hearts and lungs to fail and their legs to become crippled under their own weight.
Outdated slaughter methods and faulty machinery cause millions of animals to be scalded to death in feather-removal tanks or have their throats slit while they are still conscious.
