| Description | Benjamin Goldsmith, a campaign coordinator for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has been organizing a series of protests outside KFC restaurants because of the way the company kills its chickens. Monday's campaign in Logan, however, may have backfired, as the store on 400 North saw one of its busiest days in recent memory. At one point around noon, more than 30 people stood in line to order chicken.
"I think there's a place in this world for all of God's creations ... right next to the mashed potatoes," said Rusty Smith, a KFC customer who sat on a patch of grass outside the restaurant with a group of co-workers, watching the protest.

While the success of the protest was questionable for those pro-PETA, Goldsmith said he planned to take the chicken suit to other KFC locations throughout the Intermountain region. He said he'd be in Twin Falls and Boise today, and next week plans to march outside a KFC in Salt Lake City -- the first-ever Kentucky Friend Chicken restaurant. |
