Vegetarian Star

Film star Jenna Jameson has just finished shooting an ad for PETA, slamming McDonald’s for the way it treats and kills chickens.

The 30 second clip will debut sometime in the fall, but here’s a sneak preview of how Jenna educates the public as part of PETA’s McCruelty campaign.

“If you ask chickens, there’s no such thing as a ‘Happy Meal.’ Chickens killed for McNuggets are dumped onto conveyer belts. Their fragile legs are slammed into metal shackles. … Spinning blades meant to cut their throats often tear through their wings or bodies instead. Many birds survive this terrifying, painful process, only to be scalded to death in defeathering tanks. There’s a less cruel method of slaughter that renders chickens unconscious, but McDonald’s chooses to allow birds to be mutilated and scalded instead.”

The actress has worked with the animal rights group in the past, posing for an ad advocating spaying and neutering pets.

“There were no vegetarian restaurants in Akron. Plus, I wanted to do something to help destroy the mall culture of downtown.”
—-Chrissie Hynde, singer and musician of The Pretenders, on why she opened a vegan restaurant, The Vegiterranean, in her hometown of Akron, Ohio.

Guess Chrissie got tired of looking at all the corporate fast food chain restaurants that lined the streets of Akron. But hey, Chrissie, not all malls are bad. Some have veg offering Subway Restaurants, for instance.

Hynde recently made news after she participated in a protest against McDonald’s as part of the McCruelty campaign launched against the company due to how it treats its chickens before and during slaughter.

She has said she would like to remain on earth until all McDonald’s have burned to the ground.

She’ll have to work a little harder if she’s trying to demolish the malls at the same time.

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.
