It's Official: KFC is 'Filthy' As if it wasn't bad enough that KFC's suppliers torture animals for their greasy buckets of death, now the restaurant has been charged £24,000 (roughly $46,840.80 in U.S. dollars) for a "poisoning risk" at a KFC in the United Kingdom. According to The Sun: FAST food giant KFC has been fined £24,000 after staff were found to be wearing filthy uniforms and not washing their hands. Bridgend County Borough Council, in south Wales, took the fried chicken chain to court after environmental health officers spotted a catalogue of failures during two visits to one of its restaurants. During the first visit to the Bridgend branch, at Heronstone Business Park, on September 25 last year, noted practices which could lead to food poisoning. Staff were wearing dirty aprons and not washing their hands after handling raw chicken. A second inspection in May this year found the restaurant in a poor state of cleanliness. Yesterday, at Bridgend Magistrates Court, KFC pleaded guilty to 12 charges - six on each inspection. (Read more ...) This isn't the first time this kind of thing has happened at KFC. There's even a Web site, KFCMadeMeSick.com, for people to tell their grossest KFC stories. Ugh, just the thought of KFC makes me want to vomit... -Noah (peta2.com)

This is a list of companies you probably all buy from that test on animals. 
Testing on animals is unnecessary and cruel.  Animals have their skin burned off, have chemicals injected into their eyes that cause blindless, and are killed (often) during research.

There are plenty on companies that don't test and have great products, and that shows that testing does not need to be done.  For a list of animal friendly companies please visit:

check out the list because you will see that a lot of the animal friendly companies are companies that you have heard of and can buy their products at your regular everyday store.
