Now I don't want PETA or any animal rights weirdos to have a hand in the formulation of regulations or standards for livestock farms, because the goal of these folks is to have no animals used for any human purposes whatsoever. Not only would we have to give a Lay-Z-Boy recliner, a television, a masseuse, and one acre of open range to every chicken, but we wouldn't be able to eat them until they died of old age, if PETA had its way.
From their website:
In September 2000, PETA suspended its 11-month campaign against McDonald?s after the company agreed to conduct announced and unannounced slaughterhouse audits of all its pig, chicken, and cow suppliers, stop purchasing from suppliers that fail audits, increase the living space for laying hens, stop starving chickens in order to force them to produce more eggs, and implement humane catching standards for chickens. In June 2001, PETA halted its five-month campaign against Burger King when the company announced that it would do all this and more.
I think they want to see KFC take some responsible measures as well.
