If McDonald’s customers knew the truth behind McNuggets, they’d be horrified. We’re a nation of animal lovers––we must do better. Join me in telling McDonald’s to stop allowing this animal abuse.

If humans were forced to grow at the same rate as factory-farmed chickens, a six-pound newborn would weigh 660 pounds after just two months. Please tell McDonald’s to stop using chickens bred to grow so large so quickly.

Mercy For Animals caught workers stabbing live chickens before breaking their necks, stepping on birds’ heads, and pulling chickens’ spines from their skulls, leaving the birds to slowly die in pain. This is animal abuse. McDonald’s should publicly commit to banning the worst forms of animal cruelty from its supply chain.

In all the ways that matter, chickens are no different than the dogs and cats we love and protect. If you spend enough time with them, chickens will actually hop up in your lap and cuddle. A hen starts teaching calls to her chicks before they even hatch. McDonald’s needs to protect these poor animals from being mutilated and tortured.
Victoria Asher
Chickens are highly intelligent and social animals who feel pain just like our cats and dogs. The very least McDonald’s can do is agree to protect these birds from the worst forms of torture. So why haven't they?

What’s in a Chicken McNugget? Unimaginable suffering. Factory farm workers were caught on camera hitting, decapitating, and beating animals—yet the greedy fast-food chain refuses to stop some of the worst forms of animal cruelty in its supply chain. It’s time for McDonald’s to join dozens of other major companies and have a heart!
Alison Eastwood
McDonald’s has been trying to keep up with the times for years. If McDonald’s doesn’t want to be left in the dust, it needs to take a stand against the worst forms of animal abuse.
Allison Scagliotti
Dozens of other restaurant chains have publicly pledged to ban chicken torture—so why is McDonald’s still failing to take meaningful action?
Rick Cosnett
Until recently, I had no idea that chickens purr when they’re happy. I also didn’t know that chickens love to sunbathe. These birds deserve better treatment. McDonald’s: Please stop allowing these poor animals to be tortured in your supply chain.

The chickens who end up ground into McNuggets are taken from their mothers as babies, mutilated without painkillers, crammed into dark sheds by the thousands, and slaughtered at six weeks of age after a life of abuse and fear. There’s no excuse for this cruelty—McDonald’s can and must do better.
Mark Hapka
These innocent animals shouldn’t have to live in a constant state of fear. McDonald’s: Why haven’t you publicly pledged to ban chicken torture? It’s the least you can do.
Patricia De Leon
Chickens slaughtered for “Happy Meals” spend their entire lives in crowded, filthy, windowless sheds. Workers kick, mutilate, and stab them before the birds are killed. McDonald’s, these innocent animals deserve better.
Harley Quinn Smith
Why doesn’t McDonald’s care about where its meat comes from? 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.
Joanna Krupa
Chickens can use logic and reason—more importantly, chickens feel pain and fear. McDonald’s needs to stop allowing this torture now.
Elaine Hendrix
The world is waking up to how factory farms hurt animals, and the responsibility food companies have to change the system. This is why I'm calling on McDonald's to reduce the suffering of animals, and why I've also invested in plant-based companies creating the future of food.
John Salley
Businesses have the power to change the world for good... We need to hold powerful businesses like McDonald's accountable to treat animals better. I hope they listen.
Daniella Monet
Animal abuse at factory farms is so bad that over 100 food companies––many of them McDonald's competitors––are making real changes. But McDonald's has failed to join them. Let's hold the fast-food giant accountable.
