Ex-Baywatch star Pamela Anderson has taken on KFC over the treatment of chickens on their suppliers farms.

Pammie has teamed up with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) while she is in London, and has sent a letter to Martin Shuker, KFC’s managing director in the UK.

In the letter Pammie – who has worked with PETA for three years now – wrote:

“My friends at PETA Europe and I have a bone to pick with KFC over the treatment of birds on your supplier’s factory farms.

“Chickens are bred to grow so quickly they can barely walk and they stew in their own waste for their entire lives. This is Colonel Sanders’ real ‘secret recipe’. At slaughter, these poor animals are still conscious when they are snapped into metal shackles, often with broken legs.

“They are shocked in an electrified water bath and many are still fully conscious when their necks are sliced open. Some are even burned to death in the scalding tank for feather removal.”

She continued: “Last week, KFC Canada agreed to improve living and dying conditions for chickens and to add a vegetarian faux chicken to their menu in all their biggest markets, representing about eighty per cent of Canadian KFCs. Won’t you follow their lead?

“Until I hear from PETA that you will be agreeing to make changes similar to those agreed to by KFC Canada – and recommended by KFC’s own animal welfare advisors – I will be boycotting KFC and encouraging everyone to watch my video expose at KentuckyFriedCruelty.com.”

Pamela is currently in London to co-host talk show ‘The Sunday Night Project’ with Justin Lee Collins and Alan Carr.
