So you don’t eat McDonald’s, you’ve already told everyone you know to boycott McCruelty, and you’ve signed our petition because of the way McDonald’s suppliers break bird’s legs and wings, sometimes scald chickens alive, and cut their throats while they’re fully conscious and able to feel pain. What more can you do? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered!
We want the whole world to know just how horrible McDonald’s is to animals, because McDonald’s sure isn’t going to tell anyone the truth about how unhappy their meals really are. We need your help to let the world know about McCruelty!
Since we know how much you love taking pictures and standing up for animals, this one will be easy!
Step 1: Print out our new “I’m Hatin’ It” sign (or make your own if you can’t find a printer!).
Step 2: Find your local McDonald’s and take a picture of yourself in front of the store—holding the sign of course! (If you’re unlucky enough to have one of those Ronald McDonald statues at the McDonald’s near you, take the picture in front of it!)
Step 3: Upload your picture to your Facebook or MySpace (and tag your friends so that they can see it)! Make sure you also send it to StreetTeam@peta2.com so we can give you points and put it on our Flickr! You’ll get 1,000 points for sending it in.
Want even more points? Set the picture as your default on your MySpace or Facebook and take a screenshot. Send it to StreetTeam@peta2.com and you’ll get an extra 1,000 points!
If you’re not sure what all of this “points” business is about, check out the peta2 Street Team!
peta2 Street Team Coordinator + lover of vegan food, cats, animal rights, Dawson's Creek, and Harry Potter.
Hello! My name is Nina, and I am a musician-in-training, and I play 7 instruments. I am a liberal, an LGBT activist, avid reader, composer, singer, and poi spinner. I am vegan, and a strong supporter of animal rights.
Born and raised in Mexico. I love vegan food and animals!
I was born in Canada and love peta2. I table every month and meet new people:older and younger. I love music and play the recorder. I'm a 6 year spelling bee champion. Again I love peta2!
I have always lived in Los Angeles but my family and I went to Mexico for my parents wedding. So we came back to LA. I don't like LA but were here already what can I do unless I move out and find my own housing. I have always liked animals and it was til I was like about 14 when I learned about tests they do on animals and I began to explore animal cruelty because I was interested it in it. I have watched videos that just broke my heart so that's why today I'm doing all I can to not buy anything that has harmed an animal and I'm vegetarian .
I'm tall, I love sewing, fashion and the environment, also I'm vegetarian (wannabe vegan.) Obviously, I love animals! :)
Stay loud!

Hey all –
Our McCruelty campaign is focused in mostly in the U.S and Canada because of certain laws.
We’d love for everyone in the U.K and Europe to focus on our KFC campaign at http://www.KFCCruelty.com.

Okay i’ve been a vegetarian for 9 years and all and i’m completly against animal cruelty . Like when KFC cruelty was being protested and everything i was all against it to protesting it . But then I see the McCruetly and i’m reading everything there saying how they torture the animals , and it’s exactly the same thing they wrote for KFC cruelty about how they scold them alive and slit there throats and put them threw boiling water alive . I’m just woundering if KFC and McDonalds where doing the same wrong things why they wouldn’t have gotten protested at the same time ?
