DAMN YOU PETA! DAMN YOU TO HELL!

Seriously tough, why? Why do this, PETA? You realize that there are more pressing issues at hand, like dealing with retard PSA makers.

Edit: ooh, a video? Let's watch, shall we?

Now we have a news article! Oh, wait. It Fox, do never mind.

Are you actually surprised though? It's PETA.

 

[LongAndShort]

PETA can go fuck itself. Do they realize that every time they do this they just turn more people against them? there are better ways to protest, shock doesn't always work.

 

[NotAPie]

UN happy meals.
Awesome.
But I don't agree...I don't care how its made just as long as it feeds me.

 

[Seras54]

peta is all about shock though

 

[Dusty Donuts]

We have better things to worry about than how chickens are killed. And besides, it's not exactly like the chickens will protest for long.

 

[Emphraim]

That kind of shock advertising would just scare people away from the organization rather than get anyone to actually take it seriously. All of these advertisements ignore the fact that PETA kills lots of animals yearly.

 

[Borrowed Time]

:Le sigh: Not surprising in the least honestly. I'm completely over this stuff. If PETA wants to keep destroying any semblance of respect that the general public has for them then more power to them.

Because there's obviously nothing wrong with Controlled Atmosphere Killing, as they suggest.
Would you rather go quickly or be asphyxiated?

PETA reminds me of the little pekinese dogs that just sit there and yap constantly without doing a damn thing about anything, while their owners feed them prime steak.

 

[Jinx_Dragon]

Awww, here I was hoping there was meat in it. Meat always tastes better with fear throughout the tasty flesh!

Oh sheez, my Uncle raised those little crappers. Constant eye poppage. :shudder: Hated them with a passion.

Erm.....that actually makes no sense.

I love how so many PETA supporters protest animal shelters that put down animals, but PETA puts down piles of them every year. Or how they're against any product developed through animal testing, but one of their VP's is diabetic and needs insulin to live. Hypocrisy, hilarious hypocrisy.

 

[leviathanmisha]

*sigh* This makes me want to walk by their local HQ with KFC.......again.

I'll join, but I'll bring the McDonald's! And I'll make sure it's Chicken Nuggets...you know, it taste good for being tortured...

 

[Woem]

I don't see why this action would result in even more PETA hate. They have a good point:

In the slaughterhouses of McDonald's U.S. and Canadian chicken suppliers, birds are dumped out of their transport crates and hung upside-down in metal shackles, which often results in broken bones, extreme bruising, and hemorrhaging. Workers have the opportunity to abuse live birds, and birds have their throats 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.

McDonald's has the ability to end these abuses.

There is a less cruel method of chicken slaughter available to McDonald's suppliers called controlled-atmosphere killing, or CAK, and it would cost the corporation nothing to demand that its suppliers use it. CAK would eliminate the worst abuses currently suffered by chickens killed for McDonald's. In fact, a 2005 study about CAK produced by McDonald's concluded that it is far better for animals than the current method of slaughter.

So they want a quick and clean way to kill animals instead of having them suffer so long before being killed. Is that really such a bad cause? They're not asking McDonalds to close down all their stores and they're not asking people to stop visiting McDonalds. So I really have a hard time understanding the "DAMN YOU PETA!" and "PETA can go fuck itself" reactions.

You clearly missed the pointless random pictures of bloody chickens.

I'm not even angry about the fact that they are doing it, I'm just pissed of about them not doing it atleast funny or creative.
