    BEIJING, Sept. 10 (Xinhuanet) -- Actress Pamela Anderson, always game to ruffle a few feathers in the name of mistreated fowl, has lent her famous face to a billboard campaign calling for a boycott of the KFC chain of chicken restaurants, reported CRIENGLISH.com.

    The billboards, which were created by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, feature a photo of the television star next to the words: "Boycott KFC -- Pamela Anderson."

¡¡  Anderson says the KFC stands for cruelty and treating cats or dogs the way chickens were treated would be a criminal offence.

    A spokeswoman for KFC, which is owned by Louisville, Kentucky-based Yum! Brands Incorporated says the chain ws sick of attacks by PETA.

    The PETA spokesman says the billboards were Anderson's idea and accurately described the fate of chickens at processing plants that supply KFC.
