PETA After McDonald’s…Again
Written by Vegetarian Star on February 16th, 2009 in Animal Issues, Food & Drink.
PETA has relaunched its campaign against McDonald’s since it originally did so in 2000, because the company continues to use outdated methods to kill chickens.
The current methods involve chickens being dumped from the transport carriers, hung upside down, their throats slit while still being conscious, with some even boiled in hot water while still being able to feel pain, according to the PETA McDonald’s campaign website.
A similar campaign was launched against KFC, which PETA won in Canada, and now not only are Canadian KFCs moving towards complete Controlled Action Killing (CAK), they’re offering a vegan faux chicken sandwich as well. CAK involves replacing Oxygen with a gas that slowly puts the chickens to sleep.
After PETA launched its original McCruelty campaign in 2000, McDonald’s had agreed to work towards better welfare for its chickens, but almost a decade after original talks, not much has changed.
