Members of the lunch crowd at a McDonald's in Providence, Rhode Island, probably weren't expecting to be greeted by a giant "chicken" bearing "Unhappy Meals" when they headed out on their lunch breaks. But hardly anyone could resist the lure of our chicken, and word is that almost every driver stopped to talk with the big bird and his posse. Many people even went elsewhere for lunch once they learned how countless chickens are forced to suffer painful broken bones, bruises, and scalding—while they're still alive—at slaughterhouses run by McDonald's suppliers.

I was at the providence protest.
In 1 hr we turned away 3 dozen cars.
Many people from Firefighters, to bus drivers, the Mcdonald workers even a meter maid honked & wavied in support of us. *** just the senior manager was unhappy to see us. Even took cell phone video. I just kept waving & smiling at him.
I hope to do it again.
Thanks to the 12 people who showed up.

Well done to the protesters who took time out of their day(s) to help chickens which don't have the voices to help themselves!
I honestly wish there were Peta protests or ANYTHING in my country (South Africa)as I am an avid animal lover and have taken part in some local protests but nothing on the same scale as Peta's protests! Is there ANY way I can actively work with Peta on my side of the world?

Cool thing to do. I haven't seen it (and I don't even think I can). Let people know what McDonald's really does!
