Actress Pamela Anderson urges KFC boycott

LOS ANGELES ? Actress Pamela Anderson joined an animal rights campaign
against fast-food chain KFC Thursday, urging a consumer boycott of the
franchise until it ensures better treatment of its chickens.

"If people knew how KFC treats chickens, they'd never eat another
drumstick," the Canadian-born former Baywatch beauty wrote in an open
letter circulated by the group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
(PETA).

How about wanting to make sure you get good healthy chicken to eat?
And that the growers get a fair price and contract from the owner's of
the little chicks? after all, the grower's don't own the chickens,
they just slave over them to grow them, but if they tried to buy their
own chicks and sell them, they would be hard-pressed to do so.
(shrimpers have similar problems- there is a coalition that decides
who gets to sell their shrimp.)

You know, capitalism isn't all it's cracked up to be, IMO. I'd love
to see lots of those multi-national corporations go into the toilet,
after the little shareholders sell their stock, of course.

was treated with reverence. But he abused the trust placed in him,
pushing a partisan agenda that has left the nation weakened and
