But that didn't stop hungry people from grabbing a bite to eat at the restaurant. 

Linda Amador is a PETA supporter, and Thursday, she was protesting in front of KFC. She used to eat at the chicken chain,  but has since become a vegetarian and a staunch defender of animal rights.

But in a statement to NEWSChannel 2, a KFC Spokesperson said:

"KFC is committed to the well-being and humane treatment of chickens. We're proud of our responsible, industry-leading animal welfare guidelines. We buy our quality chickens from the same trusted brands that consumers buy in local supermarkets. While we don't own any poultry facilities, we require all of our suppliers to follow welfare guidelines developed by us with leading experts on our animal welfare advisory council. We don't comment on PETA's activities and publicity stunts, which speak for themselves."

PETA's goal is to get people to stop eating at KFC. But for the people who grabbed lunch here today, they say no way! 

"I enjoy the food," said Andre Smith, a KFC customer. "I enjoy the cooking, and KFC is a really good place."

And even though people still stopped at KFC for lunch, Linda Amador says she'll continue to work to get her message out until KFC changes its ways.
