About the event

KFC: Stop Selling Frankenchickens!

Join our protest outside KFC as we demand they stop selling breeds of chicken who grow so fast that they can't support their own weight.

About this Event

Looking for a way to take action for farmed animals? Join me at this protest to raise awareness of chicken welfare!

Back in 2019, KFC promised to switch to slower-growing breeds in place of fast-growing Frankenchickens by 2026. They received tonnes of positive publicity for this at the time. But last year they went back on that pledge.We're now calling on KFC executives to ask them if not now, when? What the cluck they are waiting for?!

What the event will involve:

We will meet outside KFC at 12pm on Sunday 16th November. This KFC is in Manchester city centre, just off Picadilly Gardens.

When everyone arrives I will introduce myself and tell you a bit more about THL UK. Then we’ll start our protest! All materials are provided, so just wear suitable clothing for the weather.

We’ll be standing outside with placards, and handing out information about chicken welfare, and encouraging positive conversations amongst the public.

At the end we can go grab some vegan food together if people are up for it

Not only will you meet a great group of like-minded individuals, but you’ll also be directly helping to reduce animal suffering.

This event is open to anyone who believes in our mission: to end the abuse of all animals raised for food. You do not need to be a current volunteer or affiliated with THL UK in any way, everyone is welcome. You don’t have to be vegan to attend this event.

We’ve picked a site we believe to be accessible for wheelchair users but if you would like to double check your accessibility needs please contact the organiser, who will be happy to help. If you would like to discuss your needs, or any questions you have about this event, please reach out to me directly (once you’ve signed up, I will send my details).

RSVP for a "free ticket" to receive full details and let me know you’re coming.

Everyone is welcome to attend our events, regardless of their race, sex, age, religion, disability, neurodiversity, orientation, gender identity or expression.

PLEASE NOTE: By signing up to this event you agree to abide by our Safer Spaces policy at all times. We will not tolerate any forms of abuse or disrespect, and you will be asked to leave if you violate any of our event policies.

We may take photos at this event which go on to be used in the promotion of our Volunteering Programme, or other events. Please inform the Organiser if you wish to be removed from photos.

We can, and do, promote veganism while fighting for better standards for animals. Here's why.
