Sharpton Joins Call for Boycott of KFC

NEW YORK (Feb. 5) - The Rev. Al Sharpton has joined PETA in calling for a boycott of fast-food chain KFC, in a new TV and radio campaign.

Sharpton is urging the black community to join the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' boycott of the franchise, the animal protection group announced Thursday.

"If KFC wants to take our money and use it to pay for sloppy practices that hurt animals, I say we send them a message that this is not going to happen," Sharpton says in the ad.

Sharpton and PETA are seeking improvements to KFC's practices regarding the defeathering and debeaking of chickens, as well as a halt to using growth-promoting drugs. Last June, PETA recorded footage of alleged mistreatment of birds at a KFC supplier in West Virginia.
 
I boycott KFC because they use Lynard Skynard's "Sweet Home Alabama" in their new commercials. How dumb.

Sharpton forgot to inspect his brain
i agree.
you need to lick your finger to induce the gag reflex and purge those contents from your stomach.

 
those jokers support eco terror.
meh guess i'll eat some kfc today🙂 favorite fast food...no mystery meat
 
Black people aren't going to boycott KFC. I guarantee.

Sharpton is going to make himself look impotent by making this proclaimation. He is only hurting himself.
 
I boycott KFC because their chicken is always raw when i get it. They take too long to cook it, kinda ironic. Their store here is always nasty, roaches, rats, flies you name it. Yesterday when i went to get some for my poor mother (she requested it, raw chicken must be something women like as they get older) they told me they were out of chicken when i got there and asked if i would like fries or baked beans instead.

that is the first time i have ever seen a place out of its main course.
