Animal rights go beyond the animals - consider the effect we have on ourselves when we subject other living creatures to pain. To do so devalues life, and that might rub off onto relations between people [if thats our only concern].
Ya ya, call me idealistic, but whats the alternative to healing the world?
As for her idea that we should not eat meat at all, which is just a sideline in this campaign against cruelty to chickens, I do not agree - I like meat and it can be healthy if raised right [i.e. - without: horemones, un-necesary anti-biotics, un-natural feed]

You won't find my new release at your local cinema. My latest project is "Kentucky Fried Cruelty," an undercover exposé blowing the whistle on the cruel treatment of animals at KFC's factory farm and slaughterhouse suppliers. The video details just how horribly KFC treats chickens—birds are so crippled that they can't even walk, live birds are forced into tanks of scalding-hot water while completely conscious and able to feel pain, and Moorefield, West Virginia slaughterhouse workers kill birds by slamming them against the wall and stomping on them!
I'm calling on consumers to "Kick the Bucket" and boycott KFC until the company agrees to make some simple improvements in the way it treats animals, but so far the company has done nothing to address the very worst abuses that chickens suffer at its factory farm and slaughterhouse suppliers. The world's leading animal welfare experts have even weighed in, giving KFC detailed recommendations based on the latest research—but KFC has refused to listen to them. Until the company agrees to take animal welfare seriously, please sign the petition below to join me and other compassionate consumers everywhere in taking your business elsewhere.
