In Chandigarh, on Tuesday, the activist of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) protested against cruelty towards poultry birds. A few residents of Chandigarh also participated in the protest. The protestors are blaming mankind’s greed, appetite and food habits for the cruelty towards the poor birds.

Another fact is that Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) of being insensitive towards poultry birds, the activists gathered outside a KFC outlet dressed in black as skeletons of dead poultry birds.

According to protesters, KFC is responsible for killing nearly five billion birds every year. “What is the biggest truth behind the KFC is that how they treat the chicken, how they trouble the chicken because in such a small warehouse where one can capture 1-2 chickens, they capture 10-12 chickens and then they process them. At that time they cut their throat. So this protest is against KFC’s cruelty,” said Arkaprava Bhar.
