Anderson as a spokesbreast for PETA contends that KFC chickens are tortured, subjecting the fine feathered soon to be bucket fried friends to "cruelty and injustice". Interesting that was the same claim one might have heard from those who paid to watch Pam Anderson�s film �Barb Wire.� 

Anderson faxed an angry protest letter to priszm brandz, a company that owns a string of KFC franchises in Canada. Their total fast-food holdings include not only KFC�s but these familiar outlets; Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Long John Silver�s restaurants. All told they own more than 760 food establishments in Canada. 

"If people knew how KFC treats chickens, they'd never eat another drumstick," wrote Anderson in her letter calling for a boycott of KFC.

"What KFC does to 750 million chickens each year is not civilised or acceptable," she wrote. "I am calling for a boycott of all KFC restaurants until my friends at PETA tell me that you have agreed to be kinder in your practices."

Anderson and PETA contend that the animals are mistreated by KFC. You can read their claims at this website kfccruelty.com.

You can read more about that battle with a slant from the other direction in an article on the National Review website and also the IFCNR. 

And here is a fun link detailing the ridiculous urban legend about KFC�s �Chickens�. 

University of New Hampshire�s take on the KFC chicken hoax. 

Other celebs have joined in this fight including Paul McCartney but it�s would be interesting to see what PETA has to gain in their jihad against corporations and meats we eat from using a spokesperson like Pam Anderson.  .
