Pamela Anderson Speaks Out for Chickens

Whenever animals are in trouble, they can count on their number one “lifeguard,” Baywatch star Pam Anderson. After learning that KFC’s chickens have their beaks seared off with hot blades and that they are sometimes scalded alive in slaughterhouses, Pam penned a letter to priszm brandz, KFC’s parent company in her homeland of Canada, demanding that the company eliminate the worst abuses of chickens at the factory farms and slaughterhouses that supply KFC’s restaurants internationally. So many people asked her about her call for a boycott that she requested a meeting with David Novak, the CEO of KFC’s parent company, so that she could explain the importance of protecting chickens from hideous abuse.

When Pam heard that NASCAR racer Dale Earnhardt Jr. was driving a new car sponsored by KFC, she wrote to Earnhardt, asking him to use his clout with the company to push for controlled-atmosphere killing of chickens, which she describes in her letter as “a painless process that puts chickens to sleep and is a huge improvement over the current method of hanging the birds up by their broken legs, slitting their throats, and often scalding them while still fully conscious and able to feel pain.”
