Swoon-inducing Lars and the Real Girl star and Ontario native Ryan Gosling, in his PETA-sponsored letter to KFC Canada head John Bitove: "I understand that KFC Canada is still allowing its suppliers to scald chickens to death in scorching-hot water tanks and that many birds still suffer broken wings and legs because of violent treatment prior to slaughter. As a Canadian, I hope that you'll set a good example for KFC operators in the U.S. and elsewhere by stopping the worst abuses endured by the birds killed for KFC Canada's buckets. Won't you please consider setting a precedent that all other KFCs can follow?"

Clearly, photogenic Canadians have beef with chicken.
