Link here.Kids hoping to grab a Happy Meal from McDonald's might end up with PETA's Unhappy Meal instead.
The animal rights organization lifted its moratorium on the McCruelty Campaign this year and since June has distributed Chicken McCruelty Unhappy Meals to McDonald's customers outside about a dozen restaurants around the country.
"McDonald's markets its food to children by packaging it in brightly colored boxes with toys," Lindsay Rajt, a spokeswoman for PETA, tells Slashfood. "But most kids really love animals, and if they knew that McDonald's suppliers were breaking the wings and legs of gentle animals like chickens, I think that you'd have to drag kids into McDonald's kicking and screaming."
The campaign, though, has parents "hatin' it."
A PETA protest of a McDonald's in Albany, N.Y., upset parents on Thursday, WXXA-TV reports.
But Rajt says children have seen worse things than PETA's Unhappy Meal, which comes "stained with blood" and containing a bloody rubber chicken, a cutout of a knife-wielding Ronald McDonald, photos of mutilated animals and a Chicken McCruelty T-shirt.
Like, srsly? The Joker is Ronald McDonald's Nobody? =o
Also, seriously, just, wtf PETA. I mean, I'm not honestly surprised, for it is PETA, after all, but is this not just a bit too insane, even for them? Hmm? D:
