"I've been in Australia filming Big Brother, in which my housemates and I are confined and sealed off from the outside world, much like the chickens who are crammed inside barns for KFC. Fortunately, I won't be stomped to death, have my legs broken or be scalded to death in a tank of hot water… The bust of Colonel Sanders stands as a monument to cruelty and has no place in the Kentucky state capitol."
—Letter from Pamela Anderson and PETA to KFC and Kentucky governor Ernie Fletcher
"Harland Sanders is a beloved man, and … exemplifies the best of Kentucky. The governor has no intention of moving his statue."
—Brett Halle, communications director, Ky. Governor Ernie Fletcher

—Online commenter Helen Karpas
