Jim Perdue Jim Perdue is an American businessman. He has been the chairman and advertising spokesperson of Perdue Farms since 1991.

Perdue believes that when chicken is properly raised, there's nothing better. That's why we use all veggie feed, our farmers raise free-range chickens and more organic chickens than anyone else in the U.S. to make our chicken taste extraordinary.

Perdue, who died in 2005, was responsible not only for killing billions of chickens but for developing many of the notoriously cruel techniques now used throughout the chicken industry. Over the years, PETA has marched with Perdue's striking workers and protested his company's abuse of billions of chickens.
