Ryan Gosling Has Beef With McDonalds!
Ryan Gosling just publicly fired off a letter on behalf of PETA to the CEO of McDonalds, Jim Skinner. The 29-year-old actor is NOT a vegetarian... but he is voicing his anger with McDonald's inhumane chicken-slaughter practices.
Read the letter:
Dear Mr. Skinner, I was shocked to learn from my friends at PETA that McDonald’s, a company that claims to be an industry leader in animal welfare, still allows its suppliers to use an outdated chicken slaughter method that results in broken wings and legs and causes birds to be scalded to death in defeathering tanks.
Many of McDonald’s suppliers in Europe already use a much more humane slaughter method that eliminates the worst cruelty. What’s your excuse?
Because no federal laws govern the treatment of chickens during slaughter, the responsibility lies in your company’s hands to create and maintain a high standard of animal welfare. I hope you will agree that the time has come for McDonald’s to truly take action to reduce the suffering of chickens killed for its restaurants. I look forward to hearing your decision. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ryan Gosling.
