KFC Supplier Exposed in New Undercover Video January 17, 2008

In two press conferences this afternoon, we announced the findings of two separate investigations into Tyson Foods facilities in Georgia and Tennessee. In addition to the cuts and broken limbs suffered by live chickens at these slaughterhouses, the investigator documented the following:

  • A worker pissed on a conveyor belt on which chickens are moved to be hung.
  • A supervisor told our undercover investigator that it was acceptable to rip the heads off live birds who had been improperly shackled.
  • A worker admitted that he broke a chicken's back by beating the bird against a rail.

Certainly, Tyson Foods should be ashamed and should take action to stop this abuse, but what about KFC? As always, Kentucky Fried Cruelty will probably try to avoid their part in these horrors. But, if you look at their own website, the company clearly states that, "as a major purchaser of food products, we have the opportunity, and responsibility, to influence the way animals supplied to us are treated. We take that responsibility very seriously..."

I'd love to see them spin their way out of this one. Tyson Foods is one of KFC's biggest suppliers, so why is KFC selling buckets of chickens' flesh from birds who may be coated with some dude's piss or who have had their heads ripped off while still alive? Doesn't seem like any standard of "responsibility" if you ask me! What do you think?

Please watch the video and contact both Tyson Foods and KFC by sending a letter today!

And be sure to spread the word to your friends and family.
