Santa Cruz and SF Protest Chicken Torture
Strong Showing at KFC Demos in Both Santa Cruz and San Francisco
On February 12, animal rights activists protested at the KFC on Mission St. (Hwy 1) in Santa Cruz. About 25 people and two chickens marched from the health food store on Laurel and Mission to demonstrate at the KFC a half mile down the road. The same day another 30 activists in San Francisco demonstrated in front of the KFC at 4150 Geary Blvd (@6th Av). Both demonstrations intended to call attention to and eventually put a stop to abuses against chickens taking place in the factories and slaughterhouses that provide chicken to KFC. Chickens are routinely scalded alive, beaten and kicked. In addition, the chickens are pumped full of hormones and kept in crowded filthy conditions which frequently results in their inability to stand up or flap their wings. KFC has so far refused to implement comprehensive guidelines developed by its own animal welfare panelists to prevent these and other abuses. Until it does, activists everywhere are protesting and choosing to steer clear of the Colonel.
