I imagine corporate greed (shareholder's greed) is the root cause of the problem. I assume the people providing the birds are the lowest bidders.

It's not like that...what the companies are doing is not "giving them some room to let them peck" . Room wouldn't be a concept that'd be understandable to those chickens...they can hardly see the ground because the room is packed full. It's not like they can roam around...and a lot end up not being physically able to move anyway, because often their legs break under the weight of their bodies (the hormones make em grow too fast compared to the legs) . This pressure would make the chcikens go nuts and "peck" at each other, so to prevent this they clip off the ends of the beaks, an extremly painful procedure.
I understand people wanting to save money, but when someone takes action to protect animal rights he shouldn't be insulted (even though I don't think Mr. KFCruelty.com did do the smartest thing to attract compassion).
