Matt Lambert from the Aussie hip hop pioneers Hilltop Hoods has joined forces with animals rights group PETA in an anti-KFC campaign which will spread throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
Lambert, otherwise known as Suffa, said in a press release, "The chickens who end up in KFC buckets are crammed into windowless sheds with tens of thousands of other chickens and made to live in their own feces. They have the ends of their beaks sliced off without painkillers when they're still babies and are bred to grow so big, so fast, that their legs often snap under the weight of their bloated bodies.""The sickest thing of all is that a lot of times chickens are still fully conscious when their throats are cut or when they're dunked into tanks of scalding hot water to remove their feathers. If KFC execs treated cats or dogs the way their suppliers treat chickens, they could be charged with crimes."
Adelaide boys Hilltop Hoods have recently taken the idea of a remix album and turned it on its head, reissuing their #1 album 'The Hard Road' as 'The Hard Road - Restrung', which featured reworkings of the original songs with strings.
They join Missy Higgins, Pink, hardcore legends Sick Of It All and many more in the campaign against animal cruelty.
