Ryan Gosling Fighting For Chickens' Rights
When I saw this post over at Just Jared, I just had to share. It's always great to see a guy who isn't afraid to stand up for a good cause. Ryan Gosling was so disgusted over the inhumane treatments of chickens for KFC Canada that he decided to write a letter to the company's CEO.
"Dear Mr. Bitove:
I am discouraged to hear that KFC Canada has not intervened to eliminate the abuses that birds raised and killed for KFC restaurants suffer, despite the strides that are being made by other companies.
I understand that KFC Canada is still allowing its suppliers to scald chickens to death in scorching-hot water tanks and that many birds still suffer broken wings and legs because of violent treatment prior to slaughter. As a Canadian, I hope that you'll set a good example for KFC operators in the U.S. and elsewhere by stopping the worst abuses endured by the birds killed for KFC Canada's buckets. Won't you please consider setting a precedent that all other KFCs can follow?
The time is ripe to do the right thing. By adopting the basic recommendations made by PETA and scientific experts (including raising birds in a more natural manner and employing less cruel slaughter methods), you could dramatically improve the lives and deaths of chickens raised and killed for KFC Canada.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Ryan Gosling"













Good for him. Ever since I learned of the KFC cruelty four years ago, I've never eaten there again. And never will.
i love ryan! and now I love him even more!
The time is "ripe"?
I love this guy! Super hot and from my college town :)
I'm glad he's spreading the word on KFC, me and my whole family have been boycotting them for years. I'm a vegetarian, but I think most people will agree that causing unnecessary suffering is just plain wrong.
On a side note, one of my friends once found a fried cigarette butt in his bucket of KFC!
Another reason to love him.
PS. I have also boycotted KFC. Good for other's to follow suit if they feel the desire.
