Ravens Sign Offensive Colonel Sanders

@Hana... Are you dumb or just plain ignorant? Just because a certain govt organization "recommends" certain living conditions, do you think they are really being met in all circumstances? And as for a painless death via neck slitting, just because the neck is thin they are still feeling pain...that's like cutting an anorexic persons wrist off and since it's "thin" they feel no pain. As for the boiling method, not only are the chickens still alive but if YOU would have actually done YOUR research you would already have known that these boiling tanks are enclosed to prevent the "splashing around, getting people and equipment hurt". Please Hana, next time you post a long paragraph like this...know your facts.

Hana, If you knew your facts, you'd know why the chicken pictured above is a "redbird." Hint: It's got something to do with making it to the scalder alive and unbled. Don't confuse mandated regulations (like debeaking) with humane ones—not necessarily the same thing. And we all know Colonel Sanders is dead, so why does KFC still portray a dead man on their website?

I’m so sorry to tell you this, but… Colonel Sanders is dead. Since 1980, he’s been dead. So how can he be offensive if he’s unavailable to do anything to offend someone since he’s busy… not being alive? Besides this, let’s look into the real facts about KFC, shall we? Your group claimed that the recommendations of the KFC Animal Welfare Advisory Council have been ignored. However, Adele Douglass, a former member of the council, said that KFC "never had any meetings. They never asked any advice, and then they touted to the press that they had this animal-welfare advisory committee. I felt like I was being used." And about this “beak trimming,” thing, know the real facts. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs recommends a maximum stocking density around 30 chickens per square meter, and say that in circumstances where beak trimming needs to be carried out to prevent the birds injuring each other, only one third of the beak should be trimmed "measured from the tip towards the entrance of the nostrils.” So they have just enough beak to eat, but not enough to hurt the others. Also, about this whole, “boiling them alive,” thing… where and when did you get these facts? Think about it: if someone were to throw a live chicken into a tub of boiling water, they’ll thrash, splash everywhere, get people and equipment damaged and hurt, and the death will be too slow for production. They slit their throats (keep in mind, a chicken has a VERY thin neck, so death is instant and painless) or cut the heads off, THEN throw them in the baths to get rid of the feathers. In June 2008, KFC Canada agreed to PETA's demands for better welfare standards, including favoring suppliers who use controlled-atmosphere killing of chickens, and other welfare standards as well as introducing a vegan sandwich at 65% of its outlets. So if they agreed to all this, bent over backwards to your demands, made their company a lot more humane, just like you asked and it’s stated that you called off your campaign against KFC Canada… I mean, it’s fine if you don’t want to eat chicken as a protest. All I’m saying is… well, research is a good thing to use before stating an argument or proving a point.
