chickens McCruelty McDonalds Ronald McDonald

We want the whole world to know just how horrible McDonald's is to animals, because McDonald's sure isn't going to tell anyone the truth about how unhappy their meals really are. We need your help to let the world know about McCruelty!
Since we know how much you love taking pictures and standing up for animals, this one will be easy!
Step 1: Print out our new "I'm Hatin' It" sign (or make your own if you can't find a printer!).
Step 2: Find your local McDonald's and take a picture of yourself in front of the store—holding the sign of course! (If you're unlucky enough to have one of those Ronald McDonald statues at the McDonald's near you, take the picture in front of it!)
Step 3: Upload your picture to your Facebook or MySpace (and tag your friends so that they can see it)! Make sure you also send it to StreetTeam@peta2.com so we can give you points and put it on our Flickr! You'll get 1,000 points for sending it in.
Want even more points? Set the picture as your default on your MySpace or Facebook and take a screenshot. Send it to StreetTeam@peta2.com and you'll get an extra 1,000 points!
If you're not sure what all of this "points" business is about, check out the peta2 Street Team!
Stay loud!

hm... well, while this seems like a decent way to make a point, what exactly is it accomplishing? If you really want to do something about the way McDonald's treats chickens, why not go to the source, where the chickens are being harmed, and protest there?

Posted by: Jennifer Baird at June 4, 2009 1:36 PMHaha. Its awsome. I love how many people take action these days, i think i might pull into mcdonalds and say, well i will take a tourtured chicken, some abused pig and a unhappy meal please. Thats my new plan.
Posted by: Kennedy at June 4, 2009 10:44 PMOkay i've been a vegetarian for 9 years and all and i'm completly against animal cruelty . Like when KFC cruelty was being protested and everything i was all against it to protesting it . But then I see the McCruetly and i'm reading everything there saying how they torture the animals , and it's exactly the same thing they wrote for KFC cruelty about how they scold them alive and slit there throats and put them threw boiling water alive . I'm just woundering if KFC and McDonalds where doing the same wrong things why they wouldn't have gotten protested at the same time ?

im going to mc EVIL

Hey Kelsey!
McDonald's actually kills more chickens than KFC now, and is now the leader as far as killing chickens for fast food. We've re-launched our McCruelty campaign because McDonald's did once agree to make changes for the animals, but has since done nothing. Thee company has refused to eliminate the worst abuses that its chickens suffer in the U.S., including abuses during slaughter. This cruelty would be illegal if dogs or cats—or even pigs or cows—were the victims.
Both KFC and McDonald's are horrible to animals, but we're hoping McDonald's, as a leader in the industry, will adopt changes as they once agreed to, so that other companies like KFC will have to follow.
Hope this helps explain things!

Posted by: Rachel at June 5, 2009 5:47 PMHey all --
Our McCruelty campaign is focused in mostly in the U.S and Canada because of certain laws.
We'd love for everyone in the U.K and Europe to focus on our KFC campaign at www.KFCCruelty.com.

Posted by: avril lavigne at June 13, 2009 9:39 PMI'm just printing it and this evening i will go to the nearest mc fucking donalds.
I have a question... Why won't McDonalds and KFC change their ways? Is i because it might cost more or because it sould contaminate(spelling) the food or what? I just don't see what would be so hard about treating animals the way they should be treated.

Posted by: albrey at July 12, 2009 9:27 PMI'm totally shocked. I thought KFC was the worst. Before a was vegan I was IN LOVE with those friggin McNuggets. Well you know what McCruelty? Suck it :)
The moment I get my KFC stuff I'm ordering anti-McCruelty stuff so my friend Bryonna and I, along with anyone we can speak the truth to, are going to every one of them in the area.
Down with McCruelty! :)
in my culture we have to have our meat slaughtered in a certain way, thats not painful.P.S.There is one place that that almost all resturants slaughter the way my culture says to, including McEvil and Crulety Fried Chicken(KFC). That place is Israel.P.S.S.I'm moving there this summer!!!P.S.S.S.Go peta!!!P.S.S.S.S.Peta is very important

Posted by: ashur at July 23, 2009 12:54 PMi like it but i dont see how it will improve anything. i totally agree with kelly. lets go to the source and do something.

Posted by: taylor at August 13, 2009 3:08 PMohh girl i'm so doing and the kfc protest fo sho
Posted by: at August 13, 2009 10:46 PMI believe in animal rights and i am against testing on animals and of course abuse but however i do not believe that giving young kids "unhappy meals" with fake blood stains in the boxes is right. The majority of 5 and 6 year olds just want their happy meals, they dont understand what happens behind closed doors and they are to young to be exposed to that kind of thing. this kind of "protest" can scar young children and I dont see how targeting children is going to change the way Mc Donalds treats the animals. If you really want to change this then i suggest Peta goes to the people in charge of these kinds of things, not 5 year olds and their mothers. Peta is fighting for a good cause but can have extreme ways of doing so which makes Peta look like a bunch of loons. The O'Reilly Factor had a segment about this today and I suggest some of the people on this board watch it.
Posted by: Jessica at August 18, 2009 3:28 AMomg i wanna do this but i dont hace a camera!! me and my group at school will get a group photo will that work???? YEAH! hahaha
Posted by: sophie at August 18, 2009 10:08 PMThis is awesome, though i think we should go inside or find one of those ronald mcdonald people that dress up and take the picture with him.
Posted by: Tori at September 1, 2009 9:15 PMI COMPLETELY AGREE WITH JESSICA (August 18th, 2009)!
Posted by: Tori at September 1, 2009 9:16 PMi'm so going to that with a group of friends!! our school needs to see wats happening to these poor snimals :( they think that eatibg meat is what americans do . . . .
Posted by: tamerra at September 5, 2009 2:29 PMOh my gosh, I work for McDonalds as a cook! This is horrible! I can't get a job anywhere else right now due to personal circumstances, and I have to help put food on the table, but man! This is bad! Any way that McDonald's employees can help change this?
Posted by: Bryanne at September 6, 2009 4:44 PMHas this ended?
Posted by: Nikita (: at September 8, 2009 3:53 PMi cant belive what people do to animals. they act like animals are there property and have any right to do what they want to them ... well we need to speak out for animals and make it stop!!!
Posted by: meggy at September 10, 2009 10:46 PMi think this is amazing!
=]
Posted by: kayla at September 11, 2009 9:47 AMOH my gosh...I had no idea McDonald's did this. What is wrong with people? How can this be stopped, and why has it been allowed to happen?
Posted by: at September 12, 2009 10:43 AMOHEMGEEEEEEEE me and my friends are all doing this. Well my Veg ones are..
Posted by: Kayla2(: at September 13, 2009 1:30 PMIma do this:) sounds fuun:)
Posted by: Alli at September 15, 2009 4:26 PMI want some T shirts made I will walk in to Mcpukes and ask to see the manager and tell him he works for non humans that mistreat animals and then eat them .
Posted by: Glenn Roberts at September 17, 2009 7:12 PMvery nice \o
so i'm from brazil
can i be part off this to?
bye
i live in south africa i have not even been to the macdonalds here since i've been veggie though to be fair, most of that time i was in china... in china i went to mac donalds- just to use the toilets.lol
and seriously i didn't like their food even before i went veg. too pre-prepared. and the fries arent even proper fries.
Posted by: v at September 18, 2009 3:43 PMI don't believe in cruety to animals but cutting the chicken throat is how you kill a chicken, the breaking of legs and scalding alive is not right! I will definitely think before I go to McDonald again. How about a fetus being cut up alive to be aborted? Seems much more important then chickens.
Posted by: Paula at September 19, 2009 7:06 AMWhat if you work there....
Take it in my uniform??
=P
i actually work at a mcdonalds so when i recieve my mask i'm gonna take a picture with my uniform on xD
Posted by: ivan at September 28, 2009 2:01 PMdid you know they us the same grease for the meat and french fries
Posted by: Da'Ves at September 29, 2009 12:27 PMDude, can't wait to do this. My girlfriend did it during the KFC stuff, so maybe she'll join me!
Posted by: Dylan at October 1, 2009 3:07 PMI've always though Mickey D's was icky, but did you know that the ground chicken is held together into the nugget shape by edible GLUE?
Icky Icky Icky.
I'm Hatin' It.
Hahah. (:
Thats awesome.
I'll do it as soon as I get my camera fixedd.
Awesome plan, i was intending on wearing a "mc cruelty" shirt and getting a photo with the sign, but I live in Australia and my friends seem to think that it is illegal here.? just looking for some suggestions from those who know.? =] =]
