oh my goodness Andy Dick is freakin hilarious

Posted by: ryne | June 19, 2009 06:43 PM

That's not McDonald's headquarters. That's the Rock and Roll McDonald's in downtown Chicago. McD's headquarters is out in the suburbs, and no one would care if you protested in front of it. Though I doubt McDonalds much cares about PETA anyways.

OMFG...... Never eating fast food EVER again... Deffo boycotting KFC and MCDZ.. Gonna go Veggie!!

Posted by: SJ | June 20, 2009 08:09 PM

I saw this on perezhilton.com and it drew me to your site. I am educating my family and made everyone promise to boycott McDonalds for good. This is disgusting and I have been so ignorant. Thank you peta for educating.

Posted by: Newbie | June 21, 2009 01:52 PM

I will NEVER eat at a McDonald's!

Never!

And I've gone vegetarian 2 years ago, can highly recommend it.

Peace,
Jeremy C.

Posted by: Jeremy C. | June 22, 2009 06:42 AM

I have not eaten at KFC or any Darden restaurant in over 8 years. Now I will add McYUK to my list as well. GO PETA !!!!!! Humane Killing should not be an OPTION.

It is so great when celebrities use their voices to help the animals. or whatever good cause they feel strongly about.
This kind of publicity is priceless!
Thanks Andy!

I haven't eaten ANY fast food in years, literally, because of how bad it is for us. Now, due to this, I'll ensure it stays that way.

Posted by: Christian | June 22, 2009 01:24 PM

Great! The world would certainly be a better place without Mcdonalds in it.
I'm Hatin' It :(

Animals have a right to live a normal, healthy life. Not be tortured brutally.

STOP THE CRUELTY FREE

Posted by: *LoRy* | June 22, 2009 02:16 PM

It's really simple. Stop eating crap and this will stop.
You don't have to become a full fledged vegan. Small steps, but with a purpose and tell others why you CHOOSE not to eat certain things.
You have to live by example and inspire.
Start by boycotting McDumpster and all those crappy fast food places.

Posted by: SonnenBlume | June 22, 2009 02:43 PM

I commend Andy for standing up for what he believes. Andy, if you are reading this, we could use you here at the NYC McDonalds Times Square location!

"Kill in a more humane way"? And what's wrong with asking people to go vegetarian?

Posted by: Megan | June 22, 2009 03:31 PM

wow, just when i thought i couldn't love andy dick anymore...KUDOS TO YOU ANDY!!!

Posted by: jessica | June 22, 2009 03:52 PM

@ Megan: Ideally, we would like to eliminate flesh from all menus, but we must be realistic and willing to take small steps. As an animal protection group, we don’t condone or encourage the murder of animals by any means for their flesh. The truth is that there is simply no way that animals can be humanely killed for food. The vast number of animals required to feed our current meat habit makes individual attention to their wants and needs impossible. However, CAK, while not perfect, helps to significantly improve animal welfare and should be adopted by producers.

Thank you Andy!

PETA is working hard, we are all with you to stop cruelty. One day it has to be stopped

Posted by: Jose | June 22, 2009 07:12 PM

I love Peta so much. And I see Dan Mathews on that clip as well. While I do wish everyone would become vegetarian, it's the smaller steps to animal welfare that should be thought of first. I will never understand how anyone can actually eat a dead animal. It's so barbaric to me.

Posted by: Steve Miller | June 22, 2009 08:28 PM

Hehehe Andy rocks!!!

Posted by: Roxana | June 22, 2009 08:44 PM

I understand the message, but what the girl said in the video was probably not the best quote to use. There is no humane killing, and yes, I am asking people to go veg. Sending any other message weakens the cause. But I am not a welfarist.

Posted by: Megan | June 22, 2009 09:41 PM

I'm always looking to PETA to get people's attention and raise awareness to the conditions of animals people choose to eat. Whatever it takes--go Andy! Go vegetarian and you WILL feel better!

I think that it's a wonderful day when i see people standing up for what is right. Kudos to those involved. I haven't eaten fast food in 4years after going vegetarian and I'd have to say that there's nothing in this world that compares to it. It's time people open their eyes to see and care what happens in this world.

I haven't ate at KFC in years and I stopped eating at McDonalds about 6 months ago. I also don't eat at Red Lobster because they buy their food from Canada who allow the killing of baby seals. I hope that more people boycott these places! Poor animals....

Andy Dick will do just about anything to keep his name in the headlines. He is a joke of a man and you should consider making him the face of a campaign.

Go Andy go! He always draws a crowd :-)

Posted by: Danielle | June 26, 2009 11:23 AM

I am proud to say that I just celebrated my one year of being a vegetarian!!! It was one of the most life changing decisions I've made, and honestly I would not have it any other way. Please think about what they do to these animals, for what so us selfish humans can eat?! We do not need meat to survive! And just think of what they do to them, the abuse, bacteria, and negativity. You are putting this all into your body. Have love for them, not hate!!

Posted by: Crystal rosado | June 26, 2009 11:50 AM

I really like that there are young children in this demo! It makes me think this world is growing into a more conscientious place. Andy, and everyone in these photos are animal heroes!

Posted by: lila.evans@hotmail | June 26, 2009 11:55 AM

Wow, with all of our advances , why must these animals suffer such a cruel death?, Come on Fast food providers this is the 21st century right?

Posted by: Anna | June 26, 2009 11:58 AM

That is so wonderful what Andy did! I am a vegan and no one in my family goes to KFC or McDonalds. They need to be punished for this type of cruelty. No food is worth this torture when are they going to see that?
These are probably the same people that go home beat their kids, wife and their dog.
Great work Peta keep it up!

Posted by: Robin | June 26, 2009 11:59 AM

Andy rocks. If anyone is organizing any protests in the Orem/Provo/Salt Lake City areas please contact me. I have a great chicken suit and also posters from PETA.

What do we want "A Vegan World" and when do we want it "NOW!!!"

Posted by: Donna | June 26, 2009 12:06 PM

Besides killing animals they also kill people, here in Argentina a little girl died last year because of a contaminated hamburger, And guess what? they did nothing about it, it's a huge and damn company difficult to beat but In my opinion they suck.
I hate them, and the way they make animals suffer like that. Laws should do something

Posted by: natalia | June 26, 2009 12:08 PM

That's what I wanted :). It's not bad to eat chicken, but to kill them like that is very bad! I wish ppl who kill animals like that will be killed in that way! :@

Posted by: Christian | June 26, 2009 12:15 PM

I would love to participate in a protest or help out! Is there anything going on in Michigan?

Posted by: Hannah | June 26, 2009 12:36 PM

I'm so happy that well-known people like Andy Dick are willing to reach out to others to share what is really going on behind the scenes at McDonald's...You Go Andy!

Posted by: Melissa | June 26, 2009 12:36 PM

Perhaps folks that have children might discuss these things w/their children when they beg for a McMeal. Mine don't like it and were shocked. Simple awareness often brings enlightenment and change, even small scale.

Posted by: jennifer Bessen | June 26, 2009 01:31 PM

Peta is doing a great job!! Andy rocks and Mcdonalds should realize this will be very negative for them.
Animals have rights as well!

Posted by: keila | June 26, 2009 02:27 PM

Thank you Andy. So sad to think about all these innocent animals that are being treated in such a cruel way just so ignorant people can enjoy meat that will end up clogging their arteries and giving them heart attacks later on in life. Disguisting...

Posted by: Cheryl | June 26, 2009 02:42 PM

They make animals suffer and they are destroying our culture and our kids by getting them addicted to these fast foods that = obisity = death. They are destroying the rain forests and thus destroying the environment due to cattle ranching. All in all Mc Donalds = BAD NEWS.
They don't care about you as a person, they only care about money and profit.

Posted by: Elizabeth | June 26, 2009 02:49 PM

I'm very glad to hear about this! However, I have already been boycotting McDonalds (and all fast food joints that offer meat products) for over thrity years... Keep it up!

Posted by: Mark | June 26, 2009 03:34 PM

I'm born in the 60's...this is SO not healthy. I think if everyone wants to stop being sick...then stop eating meat that is tortured. All animals in factory farms these days are tortured and abused animals ,how could a person not get SICK eating meat? If everyone in the country just stopped eating meat for one month...it would put all factory meat operations out of commission. What do ya say? Are ya in for it ??
Then lets start a site to boycott all meat eating for a chance to make a diffenence in the lives of ALL animals.

Posted by: Amanda Brooks | June 26, 2009 03:53 PM

Thank you Andy and everyone who is doing something to defend the chickens and animals!
I just feel so sad that many people don't care about the suffering of animals.They prefer to live in a selfish, materialistic and empty world, when helping animals is so fulfilling and makes you feel you are alive.

Posted by: Letty | June 26, 2009 04:31 PM

That's not McDonald's headquarters. That's the Rock and Roll McDonald's in downtown Chicago. McD's headquarters is out in the suburbs, and no one would care if you protested in front of it. Though I doubt McDonalds much cares about PETA anyways.

I'm sure McDonalds does care about PETA because the people on the street are their customers and I am positive this protest did effect alot of them. Don't believe it? Read the comments posted here. It sure as heck better affect them. The more people on the street affected by it the less business they will get, and then they wont be able to pay there bills. have an open mind.

Posted by: Crystal | June 26, 2009 06:21 PM

omg that is soooooooo cool that he did that they should get nore celebs to dress up like that hahahahahaha=]!!!!!!

Posted by: Amanda | June 26, 2009 07:11 PM

He made this protest worth the while!!!!!!

Posted by: Emma Lee | June 26, 2009 07:14 PM

Andy Dick i love that you are trying to get McDonald's and many other places to kill animals in a more humane way, I hope your protests continue till all McDonald's have realized the pain the chickens, and other animals feel as well as we feel for them.

Posted by: morgan | June 26, 2009 07:18 PM

Thank you Andy Dick for helping McDonald's change their cruelty ways. Let's hope they finally listen!

Posted by: Becky | June 26, 2009 07:56 PM

THank you Andy!! Ur so cool. Also anyone that wants to hear more about animal cruelty should read skinny bitch. They say a whole lot more about the cruelty and how disgustingly unclean those slaughterhouses are.

Posted by: jasmine | June 26, 2009 08:16 PM

The picture of the scalded chicken is more poingnent than all the protesting. I don't eat McGarbage, but all non vegetarians are guilty of supporting this cruelty.

Posted by: karen bell | June 26, 2009 09:50 PM

Thank you for educating the population as to what really goes on behind the scenes of slaughterhouses, poultry "farms", etc. You have certainly changed my way of looking at KFCruelty, Mc Cruelty,etc. I abhor the cruelty and question what kind of a human being (an ignorant one obviously)can actually live with his/her conscience having been made aware of the torture to any animal. I'm certain greed is the motivating factor in the equation. I wonder how these individuals, from the "killing fields" to the board rooms, would react if their children were tortured in the same manner. Not to fail to mention that fast food is so disgustingly unhealthy. This cruelty issue permeates many restaurants as well (foie gras for example) Consumers should be better informed informed and the industry. in general, should be widely exposed. Thanks Peta!

Posted by: Ilana Griffith | June 26, 2009 10:09 PM

Thanks for the awareness. It made me sick. Thanks PETA.
Now that I know I feel so guilty, why did I not know about it before. Poor chickens.

I am not a meat eater although I do eat fish, I had a fish burger at McDonalds about two months ago and became very sick, if I had of been thinking straight at the time I would have taken the fish burger to a lab for testing, this fish was stinking rotten and I purchased it at McDonald's in Dartmouth,N.S.Canada I now warn everyone that frequents that place to be leary, if they sell rotten fish; can you just imagine what could be in their poultry considering the cruel methods they allow to process it for consumption. I will spread this message far and wide and furthermore no family member of mine will ever enter a door to McDonalds again.

Posted by: christine | June 26, 2009 11:53 PM

Great demo PETA!@minor quibble: yeah, you can be sure McD's is not mclovin' it when PETA is out front of there store-- they care about lost profit big time. @Ginny: we are an ANIMAL RIGHTS group-- we cannot do everything, and my guess is that many of us may be pro-choice, like it or not.

Posted by: Jamie Rivet | June 27, 2009 12:50 AM

There is nothing "ethical" about CAK. Murder is murder. For the animals' sake, stick to promoting veganism.

Posted by: Eileen | June 27, 2009 04:35 AM

That picture of the poor chicken after being scalded alive has made me spiral into a bit of a depression. I want to go back in time, save it and hold it close to my heart to let the poor, terrified soul know it's going to be ok. HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN IN THIS DAY AND AGE???? Thank you for fighting for these victims of such barbaric torture.

Posted by: Joanne anand | June 27, 2009 05:14 AM

It's shocking to think that people don't care about what they put into their stomach and that they don't realise that WE ARE WHAT WE EAT, that our bodies and cells are made with the food that we eat daily.

Building our bodies with the sufferance of other creatures simply CANNOT be right and it is about time that we all open our eyes and start to reflect on this issue that is a base of our existence!

The whole purpose of my going vegetarian is for the well being of the animals. I'll boycott MacDonald. Thank you, Peta!

Posted by: Kimberly S Lewis | June 28, 2009 08:45 PM

This demonstration was awesome. I live in Wisconsin and grew up surrounded by farms where cows grazed in the fields, chickens roamed the farms, pigs had huge areas and sheep were also in the fields. I still see that however, there are now factory farms where cows stand in a stall all day and get fed who knows what. It makes me sick to my stomach. I quit eating pork over a year ago, I don't like eating beef, I was down to chicken and fish, now I don't know if I can eat chicken again, I will always wonder how it was killed. Seriously thinking of becoming a vegitarian. I'm going to take a look at the Vegetarienews site. Thank you PETA for all that you do on behalf of animals. Question: Can dogs be healthy on a vegetarian diet? I've also heard horror stories about what goes into dog food, currently I give them organic dog food.

Posted by: Joni Wright | June 28, 2009 11:30 PM

Me, my partner and my kids have gone veggie for the last 3 weeks now, and its been a lot easier than I thought HOWEVER, I have two dogs that eat CHICKEN dog food, PLEASE, PLEASE can somebody tell me where I can find veggie receipies for my dogs and treats/chews???

Posted by: Tracey Myers | June 29, 2009 09:03 AM

Thank you Andy and PETA for showing us again how cruel we can be to animals. However so many of us are so unaware of the pain and suffering that goes on around the world for our animal friends. Share with as many people that you can events like these. I have the most difficult time looking at photos of abused and tortured animals, but it is only because of this information that people can begin to change. Keep up the fantastic work and education.
