KFC is in the news again, this time (and most of the time), the target of attack by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). The animal rights activist organization has teamed up with spokesperson Pamela Anderson in an online campaign against the fast food chicken restaurant in Asia. The campaign urges Asian diners to boycott the American chain. PETA has also sent a video of Pam, along with a letter written by her, to KFC's operational HQ in Hong Kong.

I think that they should put the banner a little bit lower....and pass the chicken. mark m. johnston, ri
2She's the spokesperson because of the kinship she has for chickens? Both she and the birds have engineered overdeveloped breasts that don't appear like anything found in nature.
Are the chickens KFC uses raised differently than your basic factory poulty farm in China? I undersand why they go after companies like this since fast food = bad, so it's easy to beat up on them. But they give the impression that these companies buy meat from special torture farms as opposed to the nice friendly farms that supply the stores where every one buys their groceries.

Well, Americans have spoiled their health habits already and also disturbed the ecological balance by mass slaughtering of animals. Why they want to export such horrible culture to Asian countries where people are slim and healthy? Americans better learn from the Asians and adapt to it and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
6You have no idea how funny that is. I live in China now, and animal cruelty does not draw a tear here the way that it might in the USA. Nearly everything that crawls, walks, swims, or otherwise twitches is fair game in Chinese cuisine. On the plus side virtually every piece of the particular animal in question is consumed in one way or another so there isn't any waste.
