Pam Anderson leads KFC boycott
Actress image will appear on PETA billboards

LOS ANGELES - Actress Pamela Anderson, always game to ruffle a few feathers in the name of mistreated fowl, has lent her famous face to a billboard campaign calling for a boycott of the KFC chain of chicken restaurants.

The billboards, which were created by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, feature a photo of the television star next to the words: Boycott KFC Pamela Anderson.

Underneath are the words: Live Scalding, Painful Debeaking, Crippled Chickens and the address of a Web site attacking the fast-food chain(www.kentuckyfriedcruelty.com).

The billboards were going up in Los Angeles, Dallas, Boston, San Francisco and other cities, a spokesman for PETA said Wednesday.

KFC stands for cruelty, Anderson said in a statement. If KFC executives treated cats or dogs the way they treat chickens, they could go to prison on felony cruelty-to-animals charges.

PETA has disparaged our brand and misrepresented the truth about our responsible industry-leading animal welfare standards, KFC spokeswoman Bonnie Warschauer said in a statement.

The PETA spokesman said the billboards were the Andersons idea and accurately described the fate of chickens at processing plants that supply KFC.

I seem to recall our resident chicken-lady here supplies some to KFC and certainly doesn't participate in this kind of treatment... CM, what's your take on all this racket?

Chickens are bred for food. As long as they are given a quick death, I dont see why anyone should be against it? Unless she plans to take care of millions of chickens to avoid "cruelty"...

I really don't want to know how our food is processed, for when I see it, it makes me sick at my stomach. Well, maybe I do need to see it, for I could get farther along on my weight loss!

Chick, come in please! I do believe she sends her chickens altogether to the processing plant! That's what I remember her saying.

Cruelty to food...what are they going to say next? That we should give them lethal injections instead of chopping their heads off? Gimme a break.

Thanks Shamon, I love it when people cut out the bullshit and get right to the point! Wink

Attention people who don't like how we process our food: Don't eat it. Don't buy it. Go back to the woods and eat leaves, nuts and berries and whatever else you can scrounge up!

Then YOU TOO can look like those starving folks over on the other side of the world we see on TV with the bloated bellies, flies crawling all over their faces, and that blank look on their faces!

Well, I'm a leaf, nut, and berry-eater. I don't eat animal products and I try not to wear them either. That's because of my personal convictions, though. I don't force my vegetarian philosophy on others. I just know that for me, it's right.
