A 19-year-old animal rights activist in New York has legally changed his name to KentuckyFriedCruelty.com.
Chris Garnett, youth outreach co-ordinator for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (Peta), said he changed his name in suport of the group’s anti-KFC campaign.
“People don’t believe me at first when I tell them my name, but it never fails to spark a discussion,” KentuckyFriendCruelty.com, said.
“Many vow to boycott KFC after I explain the company’s indifference to cruelty to animals.”
Peta’s complaints against KFC stem from video footage shot last year recording alleged mistreatment of birds at a Pilgrim’s Pride plant in Moorefield, West Virginia. The plant is a KFC supplier.
Yum! Brands, the parent company of KFC, has disputed the claims of mistreatment.
In June, a grand jury refused to indict former workers at the West Virginia chicken plant.
Pamela Anderson, who has narrated a Peta video showing the alleged abuse, supports Garnett’s name change.
“I’m sure Chris can’t wait ’till KFC stops torturing chickens so he can change his name back,” the actress said, adding that the chicken abuse “is awful and has to stop.”[/q]
