New Delhi:
Bollywood actor R. Madhavan has taken up the cause of chickens and
has written to KFC CEO David Novak on behalf of PETA urging him to
stop killing the birds.
PETA (People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals) is asking people to boycott KFC restaurants
in India until animal welfare improvements are adopted.
"I am sure you're a compassionate person who agrees that animals,
whether they are dogs, cats or chickens, should not be abused and
that working to stop this unnecessary cruelty should be a top
priority," Madhavan wrote.
"Please use your unique position to stop the worst abuses of these
sensitive birds by making the improvements suggested by PETA and
KFC's own former animal welfare advisors," he added.
