:)KFC Canada agreed to this historic new animal welfare plan following seven months of closed-door negotiations with PETA. With today's announcement, the company plans to do the following: Phase in purchases of 100 percent of its chickens from suppliers that use controlled-atmosphere killing (CAK)—the least cruel form of poultry slaughter ever developed. KFC Canada is the first major restaurant chain to commit to phasing in the exclusive purchasing of chicken meat from CAK slaughterhouses. Make a vegan faux-chicken item available at the majority of KFC restaurants in Canada. Improve its animal welfare criteria to reduce the number of broken bones and other injuries suffered by birds. Urge its suppliers to adopt better practices, including improved lighting, lower stocking density and ammonia levels, and a phaseout of growth-promoting drugs and breeding practices that painfully cripple chickens. Form an animal welfare advisory panel to monitor the changes and recommend further advancements.

This is fantastic news and definitely a step in the right direction. Canada have set an excellent example here and lets hope the rest of the world will follow suit.
Cruelty doesn't have to be on the menu.

Although it's not the best thing ever (stopping them from selling animal products in general would be, though! xD), it's a great step ahead! I hope others follow the example and do the right thing.
