“As you may know, KFC is under worldwide pressure to eliminate its cruelest abuses of chickens, such as cutting the beaks off baby birds; breeding chickens to grow so large, so quickly that many suffer crippling injuries; and slitting the birds' throats or dropping them into tanks of scalding-hot water while they are still alive and able to feel pain.” KnowsFeelsMayStillsAblePainSufferingGrowsWaterCuttingAliveBabyBirdAbusePressureHotInjuryChickensThroatDroppingTanksBreedingHot WaterBeaksKfc Author:Pamela Anderson
“Father, I am from a different egg than your other children. Think of me as a duckling raised by hens. I am not a domestic bird destined to spend his life in a chicken coop. the water that scares you rejuvenates me. For unlike you I can swim, and swim I shall. The ocean is my homeland. If you are with me, come to the ocean. If not, stop interfering with me and go back to the chicken coop.” IfsThinkingChildrenI CanDifferentFatherWaterLike YouOceanBirdRaisedEggsChickensSwimScareInterfereDestinedHomelandThink Of MeHensDucklings Author:Elif Safak

“Industrial agriculture now accounts for over half of America's water pollution. Two years ago, Pfiesteria outbreaks connected with wastes from industrial chicken factories forced the closure of two major tributaries of the Chesapeake and threatened Maryland's vital shellfish industry. Tyson Foods has polluted half of all streams in northwestern Arkansas with so much fecal bacteria that swimming is prohibited. Drugs and hormones needed to keep confined animals alive and growing are mainly excreted with the wastes and saturate local waterways.” YearsTwoAmericaWaterAnimalHalfAliveGrowingIndustryNeededDrugWasteMajorsYears AgoAccountsEnvironmentalConnectedLocalsStreamsTwo YearsChickensSwimmingFactoriesPollutionAgricultureThreatenedConfinedHormonesClosureTysonBacteriaArkansasTwo Years AgoOutbreaksMarylandShellfishWater PollutionNorthwestern Author:Robert F.

“When I was younger, I ate nothing but fried food. Everything was fried, from oysters to chicken to potatoes to vegetables. When you die in New Orleans, they deep fry you before they put you in the coffin. When we baptize children in New Orleans, we baptize them with a bordelaise sauce; we don't use water.” ChildrenUseDiesWaterChickensVegetablesNew OrleansPotatoesSauceCoffinsOystersFried Food Author:Richard Simmons
