Has Peta gone too Far? PETA Unhappy Meals Targeting Kids

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.

"I don't want my son to be around something like this," parent Stephanie Gipson told the station. "This is not fair for a child."

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.

    PETA as an organization consistently goes to far. They are a half step away from needing to be declared a terrorist organization.

    Personally, I honestly don't think Peta targeted these towards kids. They're just trying to make a point. I'm a vegetarian, but I don't talk about it, since I feel its a personal choice. But I've ALWAYS hated McDonalds.

    But, I am also a strong believer of God, and the 10 commandments, One being "Thou shalt not kill." I believe that goes for EVERY living creature. If slaughter houses had glass walls, EVERYONE would be a vegetarian.

    This is just wrong. I can understand teaching children about animal cruelty, but exposing a child to that... PETA often goes too far so this really doesn't surprise me, but you'd think they would have a brain in their heads to know that this is wrong.

    PETA is always trying to be flashy. That's how they stay in the news. It makes them feel relevant. When we just need to ignore them because they are just money hungry assholes.

    Everyone has their own choice to eat meat or not. PETA needs to stop pressing their opinion on everyone else. It's the circle of life, I don't wanna mess up the food chain. ;)

    When they become extreme, then the statement that they are trying to make becomes lost. Their organization is no longer respected, nor is it valuable to the the animals they hope to protect.

    Yeah, our future is fucked.

    I like to eat meat, always have.
    I knew what chicken was and that chickens had to die for me to eat it.
    I didn't really care, I just wanted some fucking chicken!
    Or beef, I don't care which.

    PETA: You're all fucking psycho!
    These are CHILDREN!! You can scar them for life! Hell, what if they decide it's cool looking and wanna kill small animals?!
    Or worse, people! Oh, wait, you'd love that!

    "photos of mutilated animals"
    Oh, yeah, desencitize them to where those images won't affect them at all! Yeah, that's real smart!

    I can't stand these people! They are crazy, wrong, selfish, stupid, crazy, asinine, violent, unhappy, hypocritical, human-hating, shit-eating, vermin! And did I mention crazy?
    Basically this! The Ultimate Insult: http://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    They think they love animals, ha ha ha!!
    If they really loved animals then they'd be out actually helping them rather than corrupting small children!

    That's it, I'm going there to take that shit and throw it in their Godforsaken faces!!!
