Would a boycott be in order for McDonalds?

[Synthaholic]

If you are going to start letting PETA make your eating decisions you might as well be a vegan.

Especially when PETA are such flaming hypocrites.

"But....THEY DO IT TOO!"

That shit gets really old.

 

[Samson]

that wasn't the point. The point was that they showed respect to animals even though they were a food source.

You mean they didn't wring their necks until they are paralysed, then skinned and gutted them alive?

boycotts don't work.

i live in phoenix, and a big deal has been made about the "boycott AZ because of SB1070" thing.

well, it turns out hotels in phoenix/scottsdale have seen a 10% increase in occupancy, sales are up over $100 million. so much for the boycott.

of course, if you use obama math, the boycott has been a great success!

No, now step back and ask yourself why did I just ask that question? I know that they Indian hunting rituals had absolutly nothing to do with slaughtering animals in a processing plant. So why did I ask Bigreb that question? Was it because I'm just an asswhole, or was it because I just don't know any better.

It was a test to see how naive you really are.

So calling prey brother excuses all the grizzly deaths of the animals. Okay, we can start calling the slaughter house animals bro and its all good.

that wasn't the point. The point was that they showed respect to animals even though they were a food source.

No, the point was that Indians didn't kill their prey very humanely, which would seem to be an important part of respecting the prey. Then in further insult, they used the leftover body parts in dance. You are wrong period.

But Indians didn't just eat buffalo.

Nothing like a nice bowl of puppy stew for breakfast on a chilly morning.....

I was on a web site that had an advertisement of Jena Jameson, I was really more interested in seeing a necked picture of the porn star then I was of peta. and for your second question if you would do the same and read futher you would see that any question you have for me will have been answered,

Read WHAT further? The PETA website? I asked what research YOU did, not them. The thread? Did that, haven't seen an answer, so kindly pick your uppity little wedgie out of your crack and answer the question, now that I'm being forced to ask it a second time. Believe it or not, it's completely legitimate for me to question a newbie as to why I should trust anything he posts.

OH the newbie thing? well you can kiss my newbie arse I don't owe you a damn thing. IT WAS THE VIDEO i WAS MORE INTRESTED IN THEN THE PETA CRAP

Wrong, Sparky. You owe me and everyone else here the initial effort to gain credibility and distinguish yourself from the rest of the ignorant rabble we constantly have coming in here and wasting our screen space. That's if you want to actually be listened to and taken seriously. If you don't mind being dismissed as an oxygen thief with nothing worthwhile to say, then hold onto that frigging attitude and just demand that I take your word for shit without proof. I can have your ass on ignore in a heartbeat.

Last time before I dismiss you as a poseur: How much time and effort did YOU spend actually verifying this story before you came running in here squealing about the "poor, abused chickens"? Right now, what I'm hearing is that you were surfing porn, ran across a PETA site, and just believed what they told you outright.

 

[Cecilie1200]

Get a grip. You want to boycott McDonalds for how the food's treated? What about how it is processed, what is added or its nutritional value? Make sure Chicken Little doesn't suffer, but let Johnny get obese.

To each his own. Animals are only food when they have been prepared for that purpose. The mistreatment of animals for what ever purpose is uncalled for. Humans are the tenants of earth should we try to show some compassion even to those animals that you call food? The Native Americans showed respect to the animals they hunted, some tribes called them their brother.

Somebody's seen "Pocahontas" one too many times.

 

[maineman]

watch the movie Food, Inc and you will never eat at ANY fast food joint again!

ground beef that has been bathed in ammonia is not appetizing, regardless of the ingredients in the "special sauce"

Seriously? Compassion for the animals they hunted? Indians used clubs, hachets, arrows and rocks to kill their prey. How respectful is it to wear the dead as head dress?

You want to stay away from the mass-produced standard grocery store meat too. Same thing. AND school lunches. School lunch meat is lower in grade, even, than fast food meat. Ugh.... Glad I'm a vegetarian...

Anyone who eats at any fast food outfit is a fucking idiot.

All research is home work to someone. Verify what was posted if you doubt it I am sure the kid gave it his best for a passing grade.

An who said this was done by a college kid? do you have a source? I havn't read the whole article I haven't seen any information on the author.

I also don't have religious experiences with animals they are not my spirit guides.

I don't owe you a mother fucking thing you can leave or stay with this discussion I really dobnn't give a fuck what you do. And no I wasn't surfing for porn I don't actually remember where I found that link but it was n't on a pPOETA site or a porn site.. Going to porn sites will cause a compouter virus and I really don't want to have to get another computer

Oh, I know you don't care that a leftist organization is revealed as hypocritical. No enemies on the left.

I am just guessing here, but I'd be willing to wage a fairly significant amount that Obama's burger meat has not been given an ammonia sauna.
