Kweisi Mfume wrote a personal letter to David Novak, the CEO of KFC’s parent company, Yum! Brands. Said Mfume in his letter, “I am asking you to direct KFC’s suppliers to stop breeding and drugging animals so that they collapse under their own weight or die from heart failure and to phase in humane gas killing, a method of slaughter that protects birds from broken bones and wings, electric shocks, and even drowning in scalding-hot tanks of water.”
