Ryan Gosling speaks up for chickens
By Alexandra Heilbron on September 13, 2011 | 4 Comments
Ryan Gosling is speaking against the cruel method of killing chickens and turkeys for food consumption by using foam to suffocate them. This extermination method, which kills the birds by submerging them in foam, can take up to 15 minutes and has been compared to drowning and/or being buried alive. He wrote in a letter to the U.S. Department of Agriculture: “If dogs and cats were killed in this way, the person committing these acts would be charged with cruelty to animals.” The letter goes in to urge the USDA to put its stamp of approval on a less cruel alternative that uses carbon dioxide to painlessly render birds unconscious and that has already been approved by veterinary experts. In the past, Gosling has written to KFC and McDonalds, urging the fast-food chains to use more humane methods.
