Conservative Party P.R. geniuses (get it?): This is how you deal with your liberal moonbat opponents, especially when they fly around in a private Lear Jet, they’ve abandoned their own country like a rock, and they bounce around trying to destroy every semblance of free-market effort in Canada or the U.S.—i.e., they’re a typical liberal self-anointed elite. I’ve asterisked the pertinent part for you because I know you’re busy trying to craft a national energy program to beat the libs at their own game.
KFC Canada took aim at Pamela Anderson yesterday, accusing the homegrown pinup of spreading inaccuracies about the treatment of chickens served at its restaurants.
Ms. Anderson, the latest star enlisted by the organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to combat alleged cruelty to animals, has urged a boycott of the fast-food chain formerly known as Kentucky Fried Chicken, which has 481 outlets in Canada.
The top-heavy former Baywatch actress alleges KFC’s chickens are bred to be top heavy, and suffer broken bones due to the strain.
“The more than 750 million chickens raised each year for KFC … are treated like meat machines, not animals,” Ms. Anderson exhorted in a recent PETA video. The Canadian-born actress, currently starring in the TV show Stacked, has also sent letters of condemnation to KFC executives.
*******John Bitove, chief executive of Priszm Canadian Income Fund, which owns KFC in Canada, took a few shots at the actress yesterday in a letter of his own. “Did you know we buy our chickens from the same places that sell to our grocery stores and other restaurants in Canada?” he wrote to Ms. Anderson’s management. “Did you know chicken sales are negotiated by our federal and provincial governments? Did you know, that unlike most other restaurant and grocery chains, we actually regularly and randomly audit our suppliers to augment government oversight and better ensure that chickens are treated ethically?”
Extending a lunch invitation to Ms. Anderson at a restaurant of her choice, “even in Beverly Hills, if you like,” Mr. Bitove continues: “Pamela, the facts are ‘Stacked’ against you. I anxiously await your response and look forward to setting up a time for us to meet so that I can be certain you are kept fully abreast of our ethical practices.”
In another article she’s quoted as saying
“Chickens are inquisitive and interesting animals who are thought to be as intelligent as cats, dogs, and even primates.”
Maybe that’s what makes them taste so yummy!
But then the coup de grace: the news that ends all news. The proof. The dealbreaker.
The complaint was signed by several high-profile Canadians, including author Farley Mowat and environmentalist David Suzuki.
Well then. Farley Mowat and David Suzuki. Crikies.
We’re picking up some KFC tonight! Everyone should! I love eating chickens! I love all animal food! I’m glad they raise chickens for the sole purpose of my eating them! I love greenhouse tomatoes and farmed salmon too. We only eat farmed salmon in our house because it’s delicious—we think it tastes better—and because we like supporting the salmon-farming industry.
