“KFC needs to get its shit together, start treating their chickens with a lil R E S P E C T, let them go free and become a vegan restaurant.”

—Ireland Baldwin, in a recent Tweet suggesting she may want to take her flexitarian diet a bit further one day.

The model’s message was replied to by one follower with an idea for a new name for the restaurant: Kentucky Fried Cauliflower.

Joining dozens of other musicians, including Billy Coragan and Jimmy Chamberlin, Third Eye Blind’s lead singer and guitarist Stephen Jenkins has given Kentucky Fried Chicken the thumbs down.

Jenkins signed the petition PETA has against KFC due to the way chickens used by the fast food franchise are handled during and before slaughter.

The pledge Stephen and other celebrities have signed against KFC reads as follows:

“Each year, roughly 1 billion chickens raised for KFC suffer from extremely crowded conditions, crippling bone and joint problems resulting from top-heavy breeding, callous handling, inhumane slaughter techniques, and shortened life spans. Because chickens are intelligent and sensitive animals with strong social bonds, I urge David Novak and KFC to address these issues with urgency and negotiate with PETA to improve the lives of these animals.”

KFC has made and is still working towards improvements in its Canadian restaurants, and even offers a vegan chicken sandwich there.

Ah, yes.

There’s nothing like a man who knows how to hold a vegan chicken sandwich.

Montreal Canadienes hockey player Georges Laraque tried one of Kentucky Fried Chicken’s vegan faux chicken patties.

The vegan sandwich is currently available at KFCs in Canada only. The vegan offering was part of a deal the restaurant chain reached with PETA to move towards less cruelty, and they are currently making the transition to switch to controlled atmosphere killing.

Apparently, dude loved it so much, he ordered two more to go!

But we know he could have easily downed another on the spot if he was hungry enough, given the fact that he’s a six three, 260 pound athlete who maintains his athletic frame on a vegan diet.

Yep, that’s right. Georges was vegetarian for awhile, but made the vegan switch in June.

Let’s face it, animal rights activists have to have thick skin.

When your motives are questioned, your tactics are ridiculed, and the cops are just waiting to shackle you at the slightest feeling the peaceful protest is turning ugly, it takes a lot of balls to get up routinely and stand up for creatures who cannot.

Not to mention those insane outfits!

From priests to fake bloody meat to animals to even getting downright naked, animal rights activists show no shame in dressing for the occasion to get the point across. Not a problem at all for vegan singer Chrissie Hynde.

“I don’t mind standing next to a guy dressed as a carrot chanting, ‘We’re not leaving ’til the cows come home,” Hynde told the Sunday Mail.

Or, standing next to a KFC chicken.

“If you’re willing to make a bit of a fool of yourself to make your point – that’s what you have to do.”

Whether it’s protesting KFC, McDonald’s or the mulesing industry, Chrissie has proven she never fails to pay her dues to the fools’ club.

If Oprah Winfrey had a Pinocchio nose, it would stretch taller than the height of her condo’s building.

Awhile back, Miss O. did a documentary on chicken factory farm abuse.

Maybe she gave all the chickens prizes like she does to her audience members and now they don’t mind being boiled. She has no problem making the abused chickens martyrs as she’s announced she’s giving every family in America a free 2-piece Kentucky Grilled Chicken Meal.

How could she? After all, it was her involvement with so many animal rights issues that won her the love of PETA and it’s Person of the Year title she enjoyed scooting Obama out of the spotlight to share.

Could it be that Oprah is just trying to do something to feed hungry, credit crunched America and has completely forgotten PETA’s ongoing beef with KFC due to its treatment of chickens?

Whatever her reasons, she could have done much better. Coupons for Subway would have at least given people the option of  a much healthier and less cruel Veggie Max Patty or Veggie Delight Sandwich.

What other ways could O have treated America and chickens right?

Singer Billy Corgan and former drummer Jimmy Chamberlin of the Smashing Pumpkins have reunited. But only to speak out against Kentucky Fried Chicken.

The two musicians have become the latest celebrities to sign the petition against KFC due to the manner in which the company treats its chickens before and during slaughter.

Crammed cages with no room to move around, beaks cut off baby birds, and being held upside down with their throats slits are just a few of the ways PETA says KFC inhumanely raises and kills birds that later show up on the menu.

Jimmy recently announced his departure from the band, leaving Billy the last man standing.

The two follow the footsteps of many celebrities that have chosen to speak out against KFC, including Pamela Anderson, Rise Against, and Russell Simmons.
