Victory! KFC Closes for Cruelty

Written by PETA

What do you call it when a KFC is "closed for cruelty"? A goreclosure!

KFC

For more than a year, dedicated animal advocates have been holding monthly demonstrations outside a KFC in North Carolina to spread the word about KFC's tormented chickens—and watching the restaurant's business dwindle. Now, so many people have washed their hands of KFC's blood that the location has recently shut down!

KFC

The only thing better than vegan party food? Knowing that no chicken will ever leave that building in a KFC bucket again. Inspired to instigate a goreclosure in your community? Start organizing your own KFC protest today!

I hate kfc and all of their cruelty towards the chickens but I'm not totally against eating chicken in general. I want the animal to be raised humanely and to live a happy life up until the time they die. But in today's society it seems almost impossible to know whether the animal was really raised humanely or not. Sometimes I'm not sure what to do. If anyone knows any companies that they are sure treats their animals well then I would love to know about them.
