PETA Files FTC Complaint Against KFC

In our fight to get KFC to enact minimal welfare standards for the more than 350 million chickens slaughtered for its U.S. restaurants each year, our supporters have helped us choose billboards and dressed up like the Colonel for Halloween. Now we’d like to ask your help with an even bigger task.

We’re filing a formal complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) asking it to take action against KFC for the chain’s deliberately deceptive and unfair statements to consumers about the treatment of chickens raised and killed for its buckets and boxes. KFC allows its suppliers to house chickens in crowded sheds—with waste on the floor so thick that the ammonia burns the chickens’ skin, feet, eyes, and throats. It allows its suppliers to use a slaughter method in which birds’ throats are cut while they are still conscious. A company like that should not be allowed to claim a “commitment to animal welfare.”
