STOP KFC CRUELTY

AR Orgs


For over two years Animal Liberation Victoria have been conducting weekly demonstrations outside Melbourne's central KFC as part of the international KFC Cruelty campaign. ALV protestors have shown video of ALV's open rescues of meat chickens at KFC suppliers (which document KFC broiler babies being raised in horrific conditions), given out free 'mock' chicken to show that there are delicious and cruelty-free alternatives to KFC, and have distributed hundreds of thousands of leaflets, posters and postcards to KFC customers and passers by, many of whom have sworn off ever again eating the remains of tortured and crippled baby birds. Following is a regularly updated photo essay documenting ALV's ongoing KFC Cruelty demonstrations. If you would like to get involved in a KFC Cruelty protest or conduct your own, contact ALV in Australia or PETA elsewhere in the world.

Demo 100 - June 4, 2005


To mark the 100th protest outside Melbourne's most central KFC store, ALV set up a free 'mock' chicken shop so that people could experience delicious alternatives to KFC, without causing unnecessary harm and death to animals. ALV's temporary 'mock' chicken shop was hugely successful, with hundreds sampling the delicious 'fake chicken for real animal lovers'. Two lettuce ladies handed out the free food (asking KFC to turn over a new leaf and stop abusing animals) while about 40 protesters handed out leaflets and talked to members of the public wanting more information.


MY RESPONSE:
This article stands out because I am a strong believer of KFC boycotts. This article, unlike most, doesn't write to spread awareness. It's already done that, with their protests & leaflets, but it's written to show people that THERE IS A WAY TO HELP STOP KFC. Instead of just saying "hey don't eat KFC." they're saying- "look at what we did." Everyone should read this because they maybe become inspired to do an event to either support or spread awareness about something they believe in.
