I heard that the 'vegan chicken' isn't vegan because it's fried where chicken is fried.

wooow, when I first read that i'm like, "WHAAAAT?!?!" I wish the KFC here sold vegan chicken! :/ All they sell here in AZ is "½ off on our new 'Murder ina Bucket(extra blood not included)'" and "Try own new 'Torture the Chick' chick sandwhich! We slaughtered it as painful as we could, with electric tazers, won't that put a shocker in you mouth? YUM!" You know, I guess there IS a brightside to everything!...then that means...ANTHONY YOU OWE ME 5 DOLLARS!! ~ Baggio (Pro Activist-in-Training)

sweetness:D

hello, i was recently at a KFC, when they cooked my vegan sandwich what i saw was horrible. The guy in the back cooked my food with the same oil as they did the chicken!

my town doesnt have the vegan chicken :'(

If only we had that sandwich in the US!....not that I'd get married over it, but it sure would be yummy =)

We understand that many people find the idea of consuming even trace amounts of animal products to be gross, but our primary focus is on preventing harm to animals. Eating something that has been cooked in the same oil in which chicken flesh has also been cooked doesn't cause any harm to animals—and deciding not to get that sandwich won't prevent the chicken from being ordered, cooked, and eaten anyway.

However, by insisting that these vegan options be cooked separately, we run the risk of making vegetarianism/veganism appear to be difficult, unpleasant, or outright annoying, which will likely turn off others from even considering adopting a vegetarian diet—and that does harm animals.

It will also be damaging if the new sandwich doesn’t sell well. When a vegetarian product fails in the marketplace, it not only reduces the options available to vegetarians (making it harder—and therefore more unlikely—for people to adopt a cruelty-free diet) but also provides companies like KFC with an excuse to avoid adding vegetarian foods to their menus.

Each of us must decide for ourselves the best ways to fulfill our moral and ethical obligations. We respect your decision and appreciate your support for animal rights, but we encourage you to give some thought to our perspective.

id never go anywhere near KFC.f*** that!

I totally agree with Pulin.
If all vegetarians were like that then in the places where we are trying to get vegetarin and vegan items.. it just wouldnt happen. Not to mention that just putting the company through more trouble than we already have. It's not like just because it was cooked in the same oil that your eating the chicken which they killed to make the other products. Its abit gross. But I would still eat it.

This is very sad. They STILL murder Animals no victory their!!
Lets not confuse the public by saying this is a victory CAK is MORE productive and MORE efficient (info obtained on the PETA website) NOPE not a victory!!
GO VEGAN
Support Vegan companies

i like that they put some effort into peta's demands, but still, giving money to a company that slaughters animals in any way is kind of a odd situation with this whole KFC thing.

its like, give em credit for trying, but its still giving them business.

know what im saying?

Omg, awesome! xD
When I read the headline, I was like, whoa! Hypocritical or what? But I think it's great they did that :D

Hey Pulin,
Asking a company that you promote to cook the food separately is very different from an individual waltzing in and demanding that the teenager behind the counter do your bidding. I don't know what peta's relationship with KFC is, but from all this publicity stuff it seems like you're BFF. Why can't you be like, "Hey, ya know, why don't you make the vegan sandwich actually vegan?" It's pointless to have it if no one will even eat it because it isn't vegan. And it's just downright mean and rude for peta to ask that vegans eat something that isn't vegan. No thanks! I simply can't and won't eat food that is cooked in dead chicken grease and it's disingenuous of you to suggest that it's too much of peta to ask. If you're going to focus so much attention on this KFC stuff, at least go all the way. You stopped just before the finish line and are expecting some sort of ticker tape parade. Use your influence to get a vegan sandwich out of KFC, just as you've been publicizing that you already have done.
Thanks for listening,
Isa

even if the kfc's here sold vegan chicken, i still wouldnt eat it.

I can understand not making the demands incredibly ridiculous (like, making the vegan chicken in a seperate room or something), but using different oil is NOT expensive NOR difficult. If PETA offered to supply 1 KFC per province in Canada with a different deepfrier (and I have donated to PETA, as well as my friends, as well as MILLIONS of people, so don't say that you don't have a lot of donations! (although you do give out great free resources, thank you so much for the free vegetarian pack!)), that would really help!

It's not vegetarian if it has meat juices inside and out of it, never mind vegan!!
