Illinois Students Want to Ban KFC From Campus
A group of Elgin Community College students have tried to ban Kentucky Fried Chicken from opening a store on campus. The ECC Student counsel unanimously voted to not let KFC on campus. However the student government doesn’t have any power to decide who gets a place on campus and who doesn’t. Because of this the counsel is asking the board of trustee’s to ban KFC. ”KFC would not be able to sell their products or open a restaurant on campus until they change their practices,” said Jason Levy, president of SETA (Students for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). Because KFC is the largest buyer of chickens in the world PETA2 wants them to adopt an ”animal welfare program” which would include stopping slitting chicken throats and scalding them while they are still conscious. They also want KFC to stop feeding chickens growth hormones.
