DAILY MAIL: Animal rights activists have staged an eye-catching protest by hanging a woman from her feet outside a London KFC and pretending to slit her throat in a bid to highlight how some chickens are slaughtered for food.

Two female activists, nude but for a beige bodysuit, were hung upside down with shackles around their ankles to simulate the way that many chickens are slaughtered before they end up on our supermarket shelves.
The women had fake wounds to their legs and were smeared with fake blood even before being approached by a male activist, who was dressed in blue overalls.
Holding a prop meat cleaver, he then proceeded to pretend to cut the women’s throats while fake blood spurted from their necks.
One of the women was pictured pretending to scream as the ‘killing’ took place.
The protest was accompanied with placards and signs which read: ‘Chickens: Shackled and bled out. Please, try vegan’.
The activists took to the streets of London during Veganuary to encourage members of the British public to stop eating animal products…
Video footage showed how shocked passersby stopped to watch the demonstration, with many filming it on their phones.
According to PETA, chickens ‘form complex social structures, dream when they sleep, and worry about the future’ just like humans.
‘Chickens are curious, social, and full of personality, and they don’t want to be killed for a fleeting taste of their flesh any more than any human would,’ said PETA Vice President of Programmes Elisa Allen.
‘PETA is encouraging diners to leave chickens in peace, not pieces, by choosing delicious plant-powered foods instead’…
The group’s latest protest follows several over the past 12 months targeting the chicken industry, including erecting adverts outside chicken shops encouraging diners to eat vegan burgers, and plastering them on London buses. SOURCE
