Monthly KFC Protest in San Jose with help from the chickens themselves!
Chickens of all sizes help spread the word about KFC's cruelty.
Our group, based in San Jose, does at least one monthly KFC protest at one of several various KFC locations. These pictures come from our latest event, which took place on Saturday, January 8th at 1:00 PM on the corner of Bascom Ave and Naglee in San Jose.
We've been using the chicken suit for months now to generate a head-turning presence. Passers-by and motorists can't help but notice a 6-foot-tall bright yellow chicken with bandages and a crutch, but this time the Chicken Man was upstaged by Peep.
Peep is a 2-year-old rooster who was saved from a science experiment and became a permanant member of the household of his saviors. Everyone loved to watch him peck at grain layed out for him on the KFC lawn. Many motorists did doubletakes when they drove by and saw a chicken at KFC that was not only still alive and healthy, but fighting for his brethren! He really puts a face on those who are suffering at the hands of KFC.
We intend to have monthly protests at KFC's from San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino and more, to be held on the first Saturday of each month. Please join us - help spread the word, and meet Peep - he has promised to attend future protests when he is available to do so.
