Most KFCs in Canada Offer Vegan Chicken!

by Pulin Modi

Following months of closed-door negotiations between PETAand the company that coordinates purchasing chickens for all KFCs in Canada, we are thrilled to announce that the lives and deaths of all chickens killed for KFCs in Canada will be improved through a historic new animal welfare plan.

On top of that, one thing that will warm your hearts—and stomachs—is the addition of a vegetarian chicken sandwich to the menus of most Canadian KFCs!

Most KFCs in Canada are adding the Classic Vegetarian Sandwich to their menus. The sandwich features a crispy vegan faux-chicken patty, and you can easily make the delicious treat totally vegan by asking for it in a wrap and without mayo. Yum!

To celebrate the groundbreaking new sandwich, most Canadian KFCs are offering a buy-one-get-one-free coupon for a limited time only! (Click here for the English version of the coupon, and click here for the French version.)

Now through September 2008, present this coupon at participating KFC restaurants in Canada when purchasing a Classic Vegetarian Sandwich and you'll receive a second sandwich absolutely free! That means that you and your best nonvegetarian friend or family member can finally dine together in peace!

The sandwich will be offered at more than half the KFC stores in Canada, and the coupon will be valid at participating locations. Visit the Canadian KFC Web site to find a location near you.

The new animal welfare plan and vegetarian sandwich are enormous victories for PETA and animals. Unfortunately, outside Canada, KFC has not acted to stop the worst abuses of chickens. Please contact KFC and demand that it adopt the same animal welfare plan being applied to chickens killed for KFCs in Canada—tell the company that until it does, you will boycott the chain. You can contact KFC by using this online form or calling 1-800-225-5532.
