The recent ad in the Chicago Tribune featuring Bea Arthur urging McDonald’s to adopt more humane slaughter practices is just one of the ways the famous Golden Girls stood up for animal rights.

Arthur, Betty White and Rue McClanahan had all recorded a commercial for an anti-fur ad in the past and White is an outspoken proponent of animals in shelters.

You may not have known about McClanahan’s involvement with a stray cat charity, Alley Cat Allies, as the actress partnered with the group to raise awareness for feral cats and Trap-Neuter-Return programs, according to the LA Times.

“Cats have always been a part of my life, ever since I was a little girl in Oklahoma,” McClanahan said of her work on behalf of Alley Cat Allies. “In fact, my most recent cat, Kate, was a stray that just showed up at my back door in Manhattan, walked right in and has been in charge ever since.”

It’s been said before that celebrities make more money from their graves than alive.

In the case of Golden Girl Bea Arthur, let’s hope that statement is true for the impact they make as well.

On Thursday, Arthur will be featured in a full page ad in the Chicago Tribune as part of PETA’s McCruelty campaign against McDonald’s.

“It’s enough to make Bea Arthur roll over in her grave,” is the tagline of the ad that describes how the animal rights group is dissatisfied with the fast food giant’s current methods of slaughtering chicken, and urges it to adopt another USDA approved method that is less painful and more humane.

The method is supported by McDonald’s animal welfare advisors, but its CEO Jim Skinner is currently calling the shots that ring “No.”

The ad’s message ends with Arthur’s character Maude’s famous haunting saying, “God’ll get you for that,” to Skinner.
