Chickens raised for KFC suffer from the day they are born until the day they are killed, and KFC has refused to make the minimal changes recommended by its own animal welfare advisors to prevent the worst types of cruelty in suppliers' factory farms and slaughterhouses.
Imagine what life is like for KFC chickens—if you're a breeder chicken, your sensitive beak is burned off shortly after you're born, and the pain is so great that many around you starve to death because they can't bear to take food into their raw, bloody mouths. If you're one of the 850 million chickens killed by KFC for meat each year, you spend your short life confined to a filthy shed with tens of thousands of other chickens—the shed isn't cleaned, and the smell of ammonia and rotting excrement is so heavy that it burns your lungs with every breath. You've been bred and drugged to grow so obese that you can hardly walk, and you watch as others become crippled under their own weight and die of thirst just a few inches away from the water nozzle. After only a few weeks of life, you are slammed into a crate and trucked over many miles through all weather extremes without food or water to the slaughterhouse. There you are hung upside-down and your throat is cut while you cry out in terror and struggle to escape. If you don't lose consciousness in time, you'll still be alive when you're dragged through the scalding water of the defeathering tanks.

Every time undercover investigators enter the facilities of KFC’s suppliers, they find hideous abuse and suffering. At one KFC "Supplier of the Year" slaughterhouse in West Virginia, workers were caught tearing birds heads off, ripping them apart, spitting tobacco into their eyes, spray painting their faces, and throwing them against walls—all while the birds were completely conscious and able to feel pain. This is in stark contrast to KFC’s claim that it "only deals with suppliers who promise to maintain our high standards and commitment to animal welfare."
