Would You Still Eat A Mcdonalds After Seeing This? Warning: The Footage Is Very Graphic And Upsetting.

Please don't watch this if you are easily upset by animal cruelty.

I decided not to watch, but I cannot ever see myself eating a Mcdonalds in any circumstances.

Hi, SirA......I have only once eaten at MCDonalds and that was not my choice.

I have many reasons of staying away from them.....mainly I only eat food from companies/places I trust......and I've never trusted McDonalds....and have never fed their food to my children.

This is shocking beyond words.......and if McDonalds was a reputable company we wouldn't have to wait for undercover exposure.....for them to allow this to have happened is to have condoned it.

Thank you for this.....awful though it was....x

[Baldric]

Agreed, wouldn't think of McDonalds even if I was starving!

[ummmm]

I love a McDonalds. So far this year I've had 1.

Because airports have BK so far this year I've had 2.

Not watching the clip....

[gness]

Ummmm.....For Evil to Triumph....etc..........Edmund Burke.....x

[horselady]

Oh dear. I liked McDonalds until now, treat every now and then when out with grandkids. No longer.

[ummmm]

But Gness....I like a dirty burger :-D x

[B00]

Not watched the clip.

But to be fair, this shouldn't be a criticism against McDonalds, but more that farm and it's particular farm worker/workers.

[Baldric]

B00, are you saying it's not Old McDonalds farm?

[gness]

It's not what you like or dislike, Ummmm....it's how it's produced that should concern us.

And McDonalds is responsible....if I took to making a food product for sale I'd know all about my suppliers......McDonalds has no excuse for not doing the same.

[jno]

yes, I'd be amazed if there was a McDonald's memo to all their suppliers round the world telling them to beat chickens to death. And as I'd expect, they've ended their relationship with this one

[B00]

No im not saying it's not a McDonalds farm.

[gness]

McDonalds should conduct unannounced checks on its suppliers.....easy enough for a huge company......or at least one who cares.

[gness]

I imagine that gaining a contract to supply McDonalds must be a fairly sought after contract.

Imagine if it was known that a company as huge as MCDonalds carried out frequent and unannounced checks on suppliers.

I still wouldn't eat there.....but this cruelty would stop.

[gness]

Thank you, SirA.....and hope to see more of you on here......xx

I would never eat at a Mcdonalds anyway -or any fast food outlet - to get the profit margins as high as possible many establishments cut corners including pubs and restaurants - logic should tell you that to get a burgher or similar for very little money involves cutting corners somewhere and animal welfare is an easy options. It's a well known fact that people who want to abuse children work in the 'child care' industry and people who want to abuse animals work close to them in welfare institutes or industries closely associated with the processing of animals in one way or another. I haven't watched the link having seen far too many of the same ilk, but I do remember some years ago there being horrific footage of the way turkeys were treated at Bernard Mathews breeding places. So in answer to your question Sir Alec, no I wouldn't and haven't for many, many years.
