Chrissie Hynde And McDonald’s: She’s Not Lovin’ It!

Perhaps one of the most vocal celebrity activist, singer Chrissie Hynde, joined in a protest against McDonald’s this week as part of PETA’s relaunching of their McCruelty campaign.
It’s been almost a decade since PETA spoke with McDonald’s, the fast food establishment that promised to treat its chickens better before slaughter. Since nothing has changed, PETA is going after them again.
Unlike modern methods of killing, which involved giving chickens a gas to put them to sleep, McDonald’s still slaughters chickens while being conscious and able to feel pain.
Chrissie held up her “McCruelty: I’m Hatin’ It” sign while PETA’s vice president Dan Matthew held her up.
“What happens if you fall and [hurt] yourself?” a security guard asked.
“Then I won’t be able to do my show tomorrow,” The Pretenders singer replied.
Hynde once said she pledged to remain on the earth until all McDonald’s had burned to the ground.
