Excerpt: Kids hoping to grab a Happy Meal from McDonald’s might end up with PETA’s Unhappy Meal instead.

“McDonald’s markets its food to children by packaging it in brightly colored boxes with toys,” Lindsay Rajt, a spokeswoman for PETA, says. “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.”

There is something seriously wrong with this campaign. I’m all about stopping animal cruelty, but this has gone a little too far, in my opinion. These frightening meals are going to children.

If this organization knows anything about children, they should know that kids do no care at all about how their food is prepared (They eat dirt, for Christ’s sake), and that kids love McDonald’s no matter what.

The goal here is to convince children not to eat at McDonald’s by scaring the lights out of them every time they go. I’m just thinking that it’s sort of a low-blow. Children have no authority to change anything, and it’s not fair to scare them for no reason.

I’ve heard people talk about how crazy people in charge of PETA are, but I’ve always tuned out, thinking them to be ignorant. But now I see, PETA is really insane. This is something an insane person with no social skills would do. And I guess that PETA workers are around animals so much that they’ve forgotten that people are the ones with actual feelings.

PETA are a bunch of assholes. Kids don’t have a say on whether they eat animals or not, you fucking douche bags. You make vegetarians/vegans look bad.
