“Why doesn’t McDonald’s care about where its meat comes from?” model and animal right activist Joanna Krupa asks. “Its so-called Happy Meals are made from abused chickens who are kept in terrible conditions and forced to grow so large so quickly that they cannot support their own weight. Tell McDonald’s to stop this cruelty.”
Chickens used by McDonald’s are among the most abused animals on the planet. Bred to grow so large so fast, they often can’t walk without pain. Animal welfare organization Mercy for Animals created this video to urge McDonald’s to stop this horrible animal abuse.

Hundreds of brands—including Burger King, Starbucks, Subway, Jack in the Box, and Denny’s—have committed to banning the cruelest practices inflicted on chickens. McDonald’s has not.
