KentuckyFriedCruelty.com was the legal name of Christopher Garnett, a youth outreach worker for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). He had changed his name to protest the explicit animal abuse to chickens by the American fast-food chain KFC, also known as Kentucky Fried Chicken.[1]
The PETA website shows a copy of KentuckyFriedCruelty.com's drivers license bearing what was his legal name.[2] PETA member Pamela Anderson expressed her support for the name change, as did his parents, although they continued to call him Chris.[2][3] KentuckyFriedCruelty.com promised his mother he would change his name back again when the PETA campaign against KFC is over,[3] which he did in July 2006,[4] though PETA's campaign against KFC and the website which shares his former namesake both continue.
