History
Colonel Harland Sanders served fried chicken for decades before the first Kentucky Fried Chicken was opened in 1952. Sanders created franchise agreements with several restauranteurs and sold his chicken to over 600 restaurants by the 1960s. Sanders sold all ownership of the franchises for $2 million in 1964 and the brand name went through several owners before being bought by PepsiCo. -
PETA Controversy
PETA and other animal rights organizations have protested the treatment of chickens on factory farms and slaughterhouses that supply KFC. Pamela Anderson, Ryan Gosling and other celebrities have lent their support to the PETA website "Kentucky Fried Cruelty." KFC has defended their practice, saying that their chicken suppliers are consistently monitored for ethical practices. -
