Bordeaux 'C Crammed in a cage, wearing nothing but yellow bikinis and holding signs reading, 'KFC Tortures Chicks,', sultry PETA France member No'mie Ventura and Australian Jodi Ruckley will lead a protest outside a local KFC restaurant over KFC suppliers' abusive treatment of chickens in factory farms and abattoirs, while other PETA members hand out leaflets:
The action is part of PETA's international campaign to draw attention to the suffering of the more than 850 million birds who are killed for KFC each year and the need for KFC to eliminate the worst abuses of its suppliers, including breaking birds' wings and legs as well as slitting birds' throats and scalding them to death in defeathering tanks, often while they are still conscious.
The Sunday Mirror led a report on an investigation into a UK KFC supplier with the headline 'Distressed and Dying in a Cramped Shed ' Nobody Does Chicken Like KFC', which showed crippled chickens are kept in crowded, filthy conditions. Other undercover investigations throughout the world 'C including one at an abattoir in West Virginia in the US, where workers were caught kicking, throwing and stomping on live birds in a widely distributed video 'C have turned up similar horrors.
PETA's growing list of international celebrities who have supported its campaign against KFC includes Nobel Peace Prize winner His Holiness the Dalai Lama, rock legends Sir Paul McCartney and Chrissie Hynde, The Darkness' lead singer Justin Hawkins, rock group Ash, and actors Pamela Anderson and Martin Freeman.
'I'll 'heat' things up a little to help customers see exactly what cold-hearted KFC does to make birds' lives and deaths painful', says Jodi. 'I'm sure lots of kind people will go and find another place to eat when they see our video and hear our appeal.'
