KFC India’s suppliers’ cramp birds into huge waste-filled factories breed them to grow so large that many can’t even walk, and often break their wings and legs. At slaughter, the birds’ throats are slit and they are dropped into tanks of scalding-hot water—often while they are still conscious. KFC’s own animal welfare advisors have asked the company to take steps to eliminate these abuses, but KFC refuses to do so. PETA India obtained graphic video footage documenting the following at a Venkateshwara Hatcheries farm, which supplies KFC India:

• Chickens were stuffed into extremely crowded warehouses, where they had to push and shove in order to reach their food.
• Birds were bred to grow so large so quickly that many suffered in agony when their weak legs could not support their weight.
• Barns were littered with the carcasses of chickens who died from fatal diseases.
• Many sick and injured chickens never received medical attention.
• Chickens suffered at the hands of callous workers who neglected to observe even minimum animal welfare standards.

What PETA wants from KFC India?
In the wake of KFC Canada’s agreement to dramatically improve its animal welfare standards, PETA has called on the parent company of KFC in India, Yum! Restaurants International, to follow KFC Canada’s lead by taking the following actions:

• Phase-in 100 per cent of its purchases of chicken meat from suppliers which use controlled-atmosphere killing (CAK) – the least cruel form of poultry slaughter ever developed.
• Improve its animal welfare audit criteria to reduce the number of broken bones and other injuries suffered by birds.
• Urge its suppliers to adopt better practices, including improved lighting, lower stocking-density and ammonia levels, and a phase-out of growth-promoting drugs and breeding practices which painfully cripple chickens.
• Form an animal welfare advisory panel.
