I am writing to ask that KFC abandon its plan to open restaurants in Tibet, because your corporation's support for cruelty and mass slaughter violate Tibetan values ... I have been particularly concerned with the sufferings of chickens for many years. It was the death of a chicken that finally strengthened my resolve to become vegetarian. ... These days, when I see a row of plucked chickens hanging in a meat shop it hurts. I find it unacceptable that violence is the basis of some of our food habits.
