Adam and Eve Protest McDonald's Sinful Ways

Adam and Eve speak out for chickens in their first-ever protest in behalf of animals.

You didn't think we meant the couple from the Garden of Eden, did you? Naw. Another young pair, who just happen to be named Adam and Eve, joined other caring individuals in Orlando to school residents about ~~McCruelty~~ McDonald's. The fast-food giant refuses to improve conditions for millions of chickens, many of whom suffer broken bones or die in vats of scalding-hot water—while they are still conscious—on their way to becoming McNuggets.

One passerby had picked up a copy of our "Vegetarian Starter Kit" earlier in the day. The double-whammy of print and protest made an impact—he mentioned his eagerness to explore vegetarianism.

Do they inject their chicken with hormones and antibiotics too. I am trying to explain to my kids why we should stay away from McDonalds but advertising to kids is so effective it should be outlawed.

i saw this on fox news via a yahoo plug where some mom was pissing on and on about her 11 year old seeing it...of course no one asked the mom what kind of video games and movies she lets her kid watch...although to be fair i am not sure maybe she completely filters violence but i doubt it. the anchor was true to fox style preachy and judgmental. good job to kathy g and to the volunteers for keepin on. the kid learned something new and made an informed choice.

"if we could see the miracle in a single flower our whole life would change" Spoken thousands of yrs. ago. Life is an incredible miracle yes and chickens have rights too! Beautiful animals that deserve at least a respectful death and honor. "Rise above your animal nature" Gautama Siddartha

What kind of person does that say about you Dexter???? I hope your staff knows better. McDonalds is the worst fast food you can get it's nothing but processed crap. Why on earth would you want to feed your kids this stuff anyways?

If my kid is handed your lit I will feed my entire office of 59 staff members chicken Mcnuggets for a week. Give the fliers to parents.

I've been a vegetarian for nearly 4 years and I haven't eaten at the MackShack for 5 so I think it's awesome what people are doing to show the truth...HOWEVER PETA must remember that being a Vegan is a PERSONAL decision and that they shouldn't try to convince everyone else to be as well. Show the cruelty work on reform but let people chose whether to eat meat and dairy or not. I eat dairy and because of that I felt alienated at PETA events that I went to

I definitely dont aggree with Mcdonalds treatment of animals due to their cruelty but a few protests around the US wont do much unless people stop driving through for their 99 cent mcnuggets and burgers. Why is it cheap? because they dont take the time to kill the animals just drop them into the boiling water and it does the job. Save time save money cheaper mcnuggets. I try to eat local and never fast food. I feel its more effective and i may be wrong.
