OT--Bryan Adams has a beef with Kentucky Fried Chickens

[mikemarrs]

If you're in the mood for some crispy domesticated fowl, Kentucky Fried Chicken might be your best bet. But if you're at all opposed to animal cruelty, you might want to give a second thought to chowing down at KFC. At least, that's according to Bryan Adams, who recently teamed up with PETA to pressure the fast food giant into changing their chicken-killing practices.









"C'mon Everybody," writes the singer in a letter to John Bitove, the CEO of KFC Canada, "If Ya Wanna Be Bad Ya Gotta be Good." Which he then follows with something I didn't make up based on Adams' song titles: "I'm writing in the hope that you would be open to ways you could improve the lives and deaths of the birds who end up in KFC Canada's buckets."

Apparently the birds are scalded to death in tanks of hot water, so Adams isn't entirely off base. After all, it's not like he's some hippy who's activism is All For Love, or only surfaces When You Love Someone.

Please Forgive Me for that last one, I know it was a little forced.

Screw that hippie BA. As long as it's original recipe, it's okay by me.

I'll have BA's portion. Extree crispy please!

I'm normally 100% against PETA and their whackjob followers, but I think in this case it's not asking too much to seek a more humane way to kill these chickens. If they want to drop anyone in scalding water I would suggest the PETA members themselves.
