We do not handle the food near the corpses as you so lewdly put it, all that is in our stores in the processed meat, all we do is cook and season it. That is the cooks job, anything else is already pre-packaged *is frozen* and then deep fried to cook it. The CSW’s (Customer Service Workers) cook all the food except for the chicken, and it isn’t handled anywhere near the chicken. I work there, and it isn’t as horrible as people seem to think. So don’t think the food’s handled near the ‘corpse’, that’s just disgusting.

Is it true they are cooking their so-called vegetarian sandwich in the same oil they cook their chicken in? Some vegan sandwich that is!

I completely agree with the luddite robot. KFC will only enjoy increased sales as customers feel less guilty (if they ever did before) about eating at the Colonel’s, which means more chickens will be killed than ever before.

Now PeTA is promoting KFC as cruelty free. Since when does an animal liberation group endorse and do free advertising for a chicken-killing company?

Or is PeTA suggesting, since the animals will supposedly suffer less, that it’s okay to go back to meat-eating? Should I start eating KFC again?

It’s worth noting that PeTA’s mission is to end animal exploitation and their campaign against KFC was not to get a vegan option on the menu but to reduce animal suffering.

It’s appalling that PeTA would agree to stop campaigning against KFC in Canada. This should only be the first step in the ongoing battle against animal exploitation and slaughter.

This “victory” is anything but.
