PETA's Bloody 'Unhappy Meals' Making Parents Angry

"Unhappy Meals" featuring a knife-wielding Ronald McDonald and bloody rubber chickens are upsetting parents who say the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals are unfairly targeting their kids at McDonald's restaurants across the country.

PETA's "McCruelty Campaign" has ruffled the feathers of moms and dads in Albany who say they don't want their kids exposed to any throat-slitting chickens or pictures of slaughtered poultry.

"I don't want my son to be around something like this. This is not fair for a child," Stephaine Gipson told FOX23 News in Albany.

"I think it's unhappy that they target children," said parent Michelle Natale.

But the animal rights activists say kids are jaded enough by television and video games to handle the carnographic images, and intend to continue their campaign pressuring McDonald's to use more humane means of killing chickens.

"I think children and adults deserve to be told the truth — and that's that behind Ronald McDonald's smile is cruelty to animals," said PETA spokeswoman Lindsay Rajt.

If these jackasses tried to pull that crap where I live, they would sure as hell see my anger.

If my kids would see those boxes they would so freak out to the point we would not be able to get within 100 yards of it

D'ya s'pose that PETA would be a mite perturbed if they knew that when my son watches the movie Bambi he points at the screen, and shouts excitedly, "YUMMY DEER!!!"  (The word "Deer" does not exist in his vocabulary without the prefix "Yummy")

I guess it's a good thing we avoid McDonalds at our house altogether.

I explained PETA to my kids...they're the freaks that think pigs should be allowed to eat humans.   :mental:

I thought PETA stood for People Eating Tasty Animals.

Was I misinformed?

At one time that is where peta.org would take you to.  The guy running the site was sued and lost.
