Chickens in Canada Celebrate!

Written by PETA

So I told some of my animal buddies about the progress with the KFC campaign in regards to the animal welfare changes we secured for chickens killed for Canadian KFCs.. So we had a little celebration, as you can see here. They couldn't really wait for the grapes to ferment into wine and all that, so they just gobbled (no pun intended) them up.

Congrats to everyone for doing such a great job with the campaign so far! The chickens especially thank you for working to make their lives better.—PulinPosted by Pulin Modi, Senior Street Team Coordinator, peta2

Dan I agree with you. I too am completely opposed to animal welfare because it basically allows people to think that mistreating an animal is okay provided we treat them "humanely" prior to their death. However there is no way to humanely separate a mother cow and a baby or any way to humanely murder an innocent being. It just is not possible. Howeverwe cannot change the situation overnite so must do what we can to make whatever changes we can for the moment. I would hope that the level of unhealthiness in this country would contribute to the creation of more vegans but that seems not to be happening or not very quickly anyway. One thing I would like to see happen is to make certain types of health care LESS affordable. For instance if you need diabetic medication because you will not lose weight and exercise then pay out of pocket for it. If you smoke you should have to bear the cost of your own cancer treatment. I think if unhealthy people had to pay for their own lifestyle choices it would make them think twice. That would not only give us a healthier population but help the animals......

Hi Barbara! Hope you don't mind if I comment! It does not matter what kind of animals we keep as long as we follow these rules 1. Adopt a rescue animal never buy from a pet store breeder or breed the animals yourself. We have too many unwanted animals to create more. 2. Try not to ruin the Earth by buying environmentally destructive methods. Buy eco friendly products and don't deforest or destroy wild animal's habitat for your pet. Don't adopt so many animals that natural areas have to be destroyed horses for example 3. Rabbits need a different type of home than horses. Cats need a different home than bison. Chickens need a very specific type of home too. Always ask a vet about the right environment food and care your animal needs. Look on the PETA website for the CORRECT type of care a chicken needs. Even slight deficiencies in diet or type of enclosure the chicken needs can make their lives a living hell. Please find the proper care for chickens on PETA's website. You sound like a great "mom" keep up the good work!

I have a question please don't be angry or attack me it's sincere. Is it morallyethically wrong to keep chickens at one's own home? If they have a great living space and are not killed for food? If it's just for eggs? AGain I'm not trying to offend anybody and I am a Vegetarian leaning to Veganism. Any advicecomments would be appreciated. Thank you.

THIS IS URGENT We MUST use this momentum to pressure KFC in the United States. Now they have NO excuse because an entire division has carried out the changes. NOW is the time to go to KentuckyFriedCruelty.com look up the details and FAQs and then order leaflets and LEAFLET OUTSIDE YOUR LOCAL KFC.

I'm very pleased to hear the good news and I'm with what everyone is saying. I think that it sucks that these animals have to die but it is a step in the right direction in at least treating them better. It's cool to be a veggie!

That was a pretty cool little bird who boldly jumped right up beside Pulin and then onto his lap.

Holly I think these chickens are at a farm sanctuary. Pulin was trying to say that these chickens are happy that there brethren at the factory farms in Canada will be treated a little bit nicer.

Anything that is so much less painful I am all for it. Dan I sure understand what you are saying. But Animal Welfare will lead to Animal Liberation. We need to get more people on board. It must start somewhere. Great Job PETA! Great Job! Peace for all animals!
