Beasties Call Fowl on KFC
The Beastie Boys have followed in the footsteps of the Reverend Al Sharpton and hip hop mogul Russell Simmons in criticizing Kentucky Fried Chicken for its cruel animal practices. KFC has been accused of, among other things, painfully debeaking chickens, cramming them into tiny cages, live scalding, and over-injecting the fowl with hormones.
The Boys wrote a letter to KFC President David Novak, urging him to adopt PETA's recommendations for humane slaughter. Click here to view the official letter.
In other poultry news, 25 roosters were seized in the Bronx, 15 of which had allegedly been used for illegal cockfighting.
Is this any way to begin the Year of the Rooster?

Down with KFC! Anyone who eats there is out of their mind. I ate there yesterday.

two words "humane slaughter" - come on PETA please ... a girl got to eat her chicken - she doesn't care how it's killed as long as it's dead and cooked!

you know what's better than eating roosters? watching them play with little rooster boxing gloves on their fists.
