Nothing makes us happier than seeing Street Teamers out doing awesome things for animals. So you can only imagine how excited we were to have well over 100 Street Teamers come out to our 'Kentucky Fried Cruelty' protest in Toronto after peta2's Take Action conference recently. Check the video out for yourself below. I dare you not to smile when you see so many wonderful people protesting the way that KFC treats its chickens.

Okay, as if that isn't awesome enough, check out this Street Team report we received recently from 17-year-old Chelsea Lang in Chico, CA:

A man who worked at a local radio station (KZFR 90.1) talked about a KFC protest I had on the radio. Then about a week later he called me and asked if I would come down to the station and do an interview. So my friend and I went there and did an interview live on the air. We talked about all of the cruel ways the workers at warehouses treat the chickens and explained the standards PETA wants KFC to meet. We also talked about KFCcruelty.com and said to Boycott KFC!


Have you done something awesome to help animals recently? Tell us about it at StreetTeam@peta2.com!

WOW! As if there was ever any doubt that Canadians rock, this question was laid to rest this past weekend at the peta2 Take Action Conference!

Over 175 students attended the event, making it far and away the most successful one yet! Here are a few of the highlights, and you can also check out lots of other pictures on our Flickr page.

Here is peta2 head honcho, Dan Shannon, addressing the crowd during the "Animal Rights 101" segment!



Say hi to all of the blog readers!

Finally, this blog would not be complete without one of my personal highlights. Here are Brendan and Ayden (brothers who attended the conference together), singing their anti-KFC songs, including a spin-off of the holiday classic, "Silent Night". :)



All in all, it was an incredible experience, so keep your eyes and ears open for when the Take Action Conference comes to your town!
