One of the big reasons I stopped eating meat back at the tender age of 13 was because of footage I had seen on how horribly chickens were being treated. It opened my eyes to the very dark side of meat industry. The chickens were packed so tightly into these tiny pens. Their beaks were clipped off so they would not peck each other to death. They were forced to endure a great deal of pain, suffering and neglect long before the slaughter. Welcome to the world of mass-production. It takes on a whole new significance when that “product” is innocent, defenseless creatures.

Kentucky Fried Chicken is one of the big evil-doers out there. No matter how much people complain, they simply refuse to alter their inhumane methods of raising and slaughtering the chickens. 850 million chickens are tortured every year, so families can gorge themselves on their huge buckets of fried chicken.

That’s how the site kentuckyfriedcruelty.com came to be. You can read all about the inhumane treatment, undercover investigations, and celebrities’ fights against the evil chain. I must warn you that some of the descriptions, images and footage are quite graphic. I had an incredibly hard time watching some of the footage, myself. But it is a solid reminder as to why I chose this lifestyle.
