Thanks to a few compassionate Kentucky residents, including the insuppressible Lindsay Rajt, who works on our KFC Campaign out of Louisville, David Novak, the CEO of KFC's parent company, got more than he bargained for out of an evening at a local restaurant on Friday night. Lindsay and company were in the midst of a well-attended KFC protest that was drawing a lot of attention in downtown Louisville when a passerby shouted out that Novak was eating at Seviche restaurant just down the street. Lindsay and a fellow activist got into their vehicle (which, by a stroke of good fortune, happened to be a large black truck with a video screen set to play images of chickens suffering live scalding, debeaking, and other abuses) and circled the restaurant until the entire wait-staff came out to gawk. Despite a slightly unpleasant incident in which the chef thought a good way of handling the situation would be to spit in people's faces, the protest was a big success. At the very least, it probably put David Novak off his dinner.

Why not identify the manufacturers by name, product names, distributors, retailers and allow the 'buying' public to put them down, THE COURTS WON'T AND THE 'SYSTEM' CAN'T, BUT we Americans of choice can put these greedy life theives out of business!!!!!!!
Start a BLOG and "post 'em" so WE CAN "roast 'em"!!!!!!!

how cool is that!! the truck should be used oh lets see for the seal slaughter watching how they are clubbed to death, the animals in china, who get skined alive and are used for there fur, the chinchillas who are electricuted and if that does not work they skin them alove as well or just break there necks!! or the labs that still do animal testing seeing such inhumane disgusting treatment on video footage on a moving vehicle, i would be proud to drive it and represent PETA 100% to pay it forward!!

Nice!
I'm not surprised Novak doesn't eat at his own restaurants. Unlike his unfortunate customers, he knows what goes into a KFC meal.

Looks like David won't be to Seviche for a long time. Obviously he ,that primitive chef and the other jerks couldn't digest the protest. Good job Peta! Lindsay and team hit them right at the spot!

Way to go, Lindsay!!! You know what sucks, though? I live here in Louisville, and I don't recall this being reported on any of the news stations or in the paper...next time we have a KFC protest in L'ville, I WANT TO GO!!!!

Although im glad you want to protest this KFC exec, Seviche restaurant only serves organic chicken. i think it was extremly inconsiderate and rude to make such a scene at a restaurnt that is trying to support better treatment of chickens.

I don't think it is ever inconsiderate or rude to protest the killing and eating of helpless animals (in this case meaning precious chickens). This is in reply to the comments by Madeline Doolittle posted on this site. I would like her to suffer the way they do. Derenda Arrington

I am glad that Lindsay and company protested against Novak.
Novak does not eat at his own restaurants. He eats at fine establishments like Vincenzo's while his employees have to work two jobs to make ends meet.
Not only is Novak cruel to animals, he also exploits poor people by paying low wages to his employees.

In response to Derenda Arrington;
This society is so fortunate to have a group such as PETA that advocates better treatment of animals, while at the same time endorsing the threatening of a human being.
I wasent under the impression that PETA was a hate group.. i guess i was wrong?

so awsome do this again ! yay. How could this be an act of hate? Inform the restaurant owners they should not ever serve this bastard.

Please send me the name and address of the KFC CEO. A customer was short changed and I wish to write a letter.
Many thanks. brenda

I agree with Madeline Doolittle...supporting PETA and what it stands for means that we should be aware of which restaurants and other establishments also support the humane treatment of animals. Do not punish an establishment for the actions of one patron. And as for Derenda's comments...you would wish cruel treatment upon any living thing? That makes you no better than those you deride. Stand up for the humane and ethical treatment of all...please.
