It's time to rewrite McDonald's animal welfare policies
Now we're taking on McDonald's. Its reforms will lead the way for the greatest changes in the industry. We can win this battle and others—but only with your support.
QUIChickens killed by McDonald's suppliers are dumped from their crates and violently shackled by workers, often as their limbs are broken or torn off. Many have their throats cut or are scalded to death in tanks of boiling water while still conscious. The terror that these animals endure can be easily eliminated by switching to controlled-atmosphere killing (CAK)—the least cruel form of poultry slaughter ever developed. With CAK, an inert gas puts the birds to sleep quickly and painlessly while they are still in their transport cages—eliminating much of the suffering that they endure during the slaughter process.
