Guest Failed Mascot Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Link~ McDonald's to study using gas to kill chickens OAK BROOK, Ill. (AP) — McDonald's (MCD) is considering whether to require its processors to use a method for slaughtering poultry that animal rights groups say is more humane. The fast-food giant said it is studying the possibility of "controlled atmosphere killing," in which chickens are put to sleep with gas, such as nitrogen or argon. McDonald's animal welfare council suggested a study of the newer method, said Bob Langert, McDonald's senior director of social responsibility. It would replace a slaughtering process in which chickens are hung by their legs on a moving conveyor line and pulled through an electrified vat of water. "There has been very little study of this process as to impact on animal welfare," Langert said Wednesday. Some of McDonald's European suppliers already use the newer method, the company said. McDonald's will post the results of the study on its Web site by June 30, said Patricia Paul, senior director of corporate governance. McDonald's move followed an announcement by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which said it would submit a proposal on the issue for consideration by shareholders at McDonald's annual meeting. PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said he hoped other restaurants would follow McDonald's example and consider switching slaughter methods. PETA is seeking to have identical resolutions voted on by shareholders of Wendy's International (WEN) and Applebee's International (APPB). I thought of Chicken Concentration Camps immediately after reading this. Of course I was linked to this by a German friend...so that may have something to do with it.
MrRant Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 PETA is in favor of gassing chickens... and Jews?
Styles Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 First Chechens, now chickens Mcdonalds gasses Chechens? So that's what's in the special sauce...
The Czech Republic Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 The new gas chambers will not just be limited to chickens: also targeted are gypsies, homosexuals, Communists, and people who didn't keep their hands off his Chicken Selects.

Well in that case, Heil Happymeal! and make sure to Sieg Heil Supersize me! .... We're reaching new lowes.
The Czech Republic Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 You can really taste the argon in those Jew Selects.
MrRant Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 That's what makes it a Select rather than the all white Jew Nuggets.
The Amazing Rando Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 McDonalds: Come On In And Be Served By Our New All White Meat, Blonde Hair, Blue Eyed Counter Help. Badadadadaaaa...You're lovin' it, or ELSE! And don't forget, this Sunday at Borders books, Ronald McDonald will be signing his new book, McKampf. But I'm sure someone will just think he was just a misunderstood clown that never did anything evil.

Ted the Poster Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 I used breadding from my nuggets to make a lampshade.
The Amazing Rando Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 does it light up a vase filled with seaweed?
The Amazing Rando Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 Czech just made me laugh so hard I started drooling. Four stars.
Guest CronoT Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 I'm not ruling anything out. Dude, that's fucked up. Is it just me, or does that black-and-white Nazi pic look way too much like Ben Stein?
Ted the Poster Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 does it light up a vase filled with seaweed? No, but it- whoops, I accidentally dropped it into the chicken oven! Edit: Nice one, Czech.
The Czech Republic Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 As a McDonald's shareholder, I will instead put chickens to work building Happy Meal boxes for the food effort. The conditions are less than stellar, but just think of the alternatives.
Ted the Poster Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 The Ronald McDonald House is not what it seems.
2GOLD Posted January 2, 2005 Report Posted January 2, 2005 All of this is tying together too damn neatly. Course nothing is more horrifying than the original Ronald McDonald. That GUY could make the devil wet his loin cloth.
