Over the past few months a lively debate has been taking place between PETA and the ASA (those eager beavers at the Advertising Standards Authority) over whether a PETA leaflet that describes the abuse inflicted upon chickens for KFC is offensive and violates the ASA’s Code. The good news is; we won – the ASA determined PETA had done nothing wrong!
So, some Britons think a picture of the Colonel slashing up chickens is offensive? Well, you know what? KFC’s suppliers keep chickens kept locked up in tiny cages, throw them in scalding hot water and then slit their throats - that’s offensive. The facts that PETA give are always the truth; we simply serve to get them out to the general public. We do have freedom of speech in this country, right? Anyway, we won, we won!
Congrats PETA! I feel this is another victory against KFC! Just like any other issue, PETA has the responsibility as well as the right to tell public what is happening behind KFC.
This is just a note to activists; Please DON’T drop leaflets into mailboxes, it’s illegal in some countries.
Cheers to all PETA activists across the globe! *Hugs*!
