McCruelty: I'm Hatin' It--Learn More.

"In the slaughterhouses of McDonald's U.S. chicken suppliers, birds are dumped out of their transport crates and hung upside-down in metal shackles, which can result in broken bones, extreme bruising, and hemorrhaging. Workers have the opportunity to abuse live birds, and birds have theirthroats cut while they are still conscious. Many birds are immersed in tanks of scalding-hot water while they are still alive and able to feel pain.

(In 2000, following the launch of PETA's (original) McCruelty campaign, McDonald's made some basic animal welfare improvements. Since that time, the company has refused to eliminate the worst abuses that its chickens suffer in the U.S., including abuses during slaughter. This cruelty would be illegal if dogs or cats—or even pigs or cows—were the victims.

There is a less cruel method of slaughter available today that would eliminate these abuses, yet McDonald's refuses to require its U.S. suppliers to switch to this method.") -PETA2.com

to whom it may concern;

I have been a vegan now for about 5 years and I have got to tell you its one of the best things I have ever done not only for me but for the environment the animals.  I don't believe anyone has the right to end a life only because they are hungry.  In America we have so much that we no longer must go out and kill to survive or buy dead meat to be happy, yet I know that this is the way most people live and so it is there chose but there are many other ways than the ways most food chains do it.  Its like animal testing come on why in hell are we still testing on poor undefensive animals when we are in the year 2009 people.  I don't think that we should only say "lets save mother earth" but lets also save what is on planet earth and change history forever.  If you ever consider going vegetarian a great web site to look up is Peta2.com it is a great web page to learn and take action and a great way to get started as a vegetarian they will send you a step by step packet to becoming a vegetarian and they have awesome resources. If you haven't already checked it out please do so!  Im not one with much words and I know that every one has there own opinion and I accept that I just wish people would have more compassion and not assume that because it is only an animal it doesn't deserve to live or be treated with respect even in death.
