Street Team McDonald's McCruelty
Today is World Anti-McCruelty Day, and we need your help! Please politely call McDonald's at (630) 623-3000 and tell them to listen to PETA and adopt a less cruel form of slaughter.
You'll get 1,000 Street Team points for e-mailing us at StreetTeam@peta2.com to let us know what time you called and what the response was to your phone call!
If you need any more information about why we're specifically asking McDonald's to take these steps, check this out. The basic idea is that as the biggest seller of chicken meat in the U.S., McDonald's has the responsibility and the ability to reduce suffering by demanding that its suppliers use a less cruel method of slaughter. Pretty simple, right?
Really, what kind of company would allow suppliers to break birds' wings and legs and scald animals to death? Imagine if we were talking about the dogs and cats in our homes (who suffer and feel pain just the same as the chickens slaughtered for McDonald's), and I'm sure you can see how crazy it is that there aren't better standards for a corporation as huge as McDonald's. You should ask why they refuse to make these demands! Call them at (630) 623-3000.
Stuck on what to say? The following are some ideas to get you started:
- I refuse to spend money at McDonald's until your company demands that its chicken suppliers adopt controlled-atmosphere killing (CAK).
- Please stop supporting practices that allow chickens to suffer broken limbs, endure abuse by workers, have their throats cut while they are still conscious, and be scalded to death.
- I just watched the video on McCruelty.com, and I was shocked to learn that McDonald's is refusing to ask its suppliers to switch to a less cruel slaughter method even though it wouldn't cost your company any money to do so.

We frequent McDonald's weekly and my granddaughter usually gets the "chicken nuggets" Happy Meal. As of today, I will no longer take her to your establishment unless the CRUELTY CEASES! Word of mouth will hurt your business.

I was scared to see what she would say after that! Haha. She sounded so nice... too bad she's working for that corporation.
