Man Changes Name To KentuckyFriedCruelty.com
POSTED: 3:17 pm EST December 30, 2005
NORFOLK, Va. -- A Virginia animal rights activist has legally changed his name to KentuckyFriedCruelty.com.
The youth outreach coordinator for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said he changed his name from Chris Garnett to support the group's anti-KFC campaign.
The 19-year-old said his new name "never fails to spark a discussion."
On his Web site, he said that his parents have been supportive since he went vegan at age 15, but they were shocked at first when he changed his name. He said they have accepted the change, but insist on still calling him Chris.
PETA's complaints against KFC stem from video footage shot last year recording alleged mistreatment of birds at a Pilgrim's Pride plant in Moorefield, W.Va. The plant is a KFC supplier.
Yum! Brands, the parent company of KFC, has disputed the claims of mistreatment. In June, a grand jury refused to indict former workers at the West Virginia chicken plant.
