AFP - Hollywood bombshell Pamela Anderson has joined an animal rights crusade against fast-food giant KFC for allegedly allowing chicken cruelty, a US rights group said Thursday.
The Baywatch and V.I.P television star called for a worldwide boycott against Colonel Sanders' famed fried chicken chain, citing its alleged failure to crack down on chicken abuse by its suppliers.
"If people knew how KFC treats its chickens, they'd never eat another drumstick," the Canadian-born Anderson said in a letter to the head of KFC Canada's parent company, priszm brandz.
The letter was released by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which in July sued KFC for allegedly disguising "grotesque abuses inflicted upon chickens by suppliers" in its online advertising.
"I am shocked to learn from my pals at PETA that KFC has refused to take steps to eliminate some of the worst abuses suffered by the hundreds of millions of chickens who are killed for your restaurants in Canada, the US, and overseas."
Anderson joins pop superstar and former Beatle Sir Paul McCartney, rocker Chrissie and US hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons as well as prominent civil rights leaders in joining the PETA protest against KFC.
PETA has called on KFC to implement an eight-point plan aimed at improving the treatment of poultry by its suppliers.
The group accuses KFC of allowing chickens to be bred and drugged so that they become so heavy that they cripple under their own weight and of using cruel slaughter methods including scalding the birds to death in feather removal tanks and electric stunning and burning the beaks of birds.
KFC's US spokeswoman Bonnie Warschauer declined to deny the allegations but said the worldwide food chain bought its chickens from the same suppliers as US supermarkets.
"KFC uses only the highest quality ingredients," she told AFP.
I think its great theres another celebrity joining the animals rights stuff and Pamela Anderson tends to have a big impact on people :drool:
I didn't understand how KFC uses the highest quality ingredients my sister's friend found a piece of bark in the middle of chicken patty thing. And their Pop Corn Chicken is just pieces of left over chicken they find on the ground well thats what I heard.
