PETA to target kids with disturbing "Unhappy Meals"

Activist group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) will hand out "Unhappy Meals" to children at an Albany McDonald's restaurant today to protest alleged chicken abuse, according to a statement this morning by PETA.

PETA alleges that McDonald's allows its chicken suppliers to abuse the animals before they are slaughtered for food. The organization advocates "controlled-atmosphere killing," a method that promotes animal welfare.

Children who buy meals at the McDonald's at 391 Central Ave. today beginning at noon will encounter PETA staff, headed by an activist in a chicken costume.

The "Unhappy Meal" that PETA will give to children - a spoof of a Happy Meal - will include a "menacing, knife-wielding" Ronald McDonald cutout, a ketchup packet disguised as chicken blood, a plastic chicken covered in "blood" and a "McCruelty" t-shirt.

The statement indicates that PETA will target children so they will "join its campaign" to convince McDonald's to change slaughter methods.



PETA is hilariously messed up! I wonder if the activists would get sued by angry parents?

Edit: Oops, linkage

Hell, if I lived near there, I'd be taking my kid to McD's just so I could cash in on my McCruelty t-shirt.

It's funny how tone deaf PETA is. They just don't get that they sound insane. Ha, most of them are from California. lolCalifornians.

It's really funny that they are doing it in Albany. It's such a working class town. It's such the wrong approach.

This is the second time I've insulted Samira today. Smiley: frown

I advocate counselling clinics for chickens. Many have PTSD from McDonald's abuse.

They've been doing this for a long time. If I remember correctly, they used to hand them out at elementary schools.

Abused chickens?

I never got a Happy Meal at school. It was usually square pizzas.

I've never met a member of PETA. Even at college the activists were boring. The only thing ever done was gay pride stuff.

I don't understand directing chicken abuse accusations towards mcdonalds instead of kfc or chickfila. I mean, mcdonalds probably abuses chickens just like every other merchant of factory fared ****, but there are other joints that specialize in it.

I believe PETA went after KFC a long time ago and got them to change their slaughter methods, so it could be that they're not neglecting other places so much as moving on to the next target.

You're still supporting the company that does whatever they're ******** about.

And psychologically abusing children is the way to prevent that?
