In case you need another good reason not to consume McDonald’s food, consider the cruelty behind this seemingly cheap convenience. McCruelty: I’m Hating’ It is a new campaign from PETA designed to raises awareness that McDonald’s in the USA are using an outdated method of chicken slaughter.

In the slaughterhouses of McDonald's U.S. chicken suppliers, birds are dumped out of their transport crates and hung upside-down in metal shackles, which can result in broken bones, extreme bruising, and hemorrhaging. Workers have the opportunity to abuse live birds, and birds have their throats cut while they are still conscious. Many birds are immersed in tanks of scalding-hot water while they are still alive and able to feel pain.
—PETA

The campaign includes a new website and a graphic video (see above) depicting the reality of chicken slaughter in the USA. As one of the world’s largest consumers per capita of meat and chicken, Americans also practice some of the cruelest factory farming methods on the planet.

Earthellism, the new philosophy based on astrobiology, explains chicken slaughters. Earthellism teaches us that hell is located on the surface of earth and there are some existences in which the only purpose to live is to be a food source for others. What chickens go through from chicks to their death in 45 days is hell on earth. However, many fishes and animals on this planet are here to be food sources for others. Therefore, instead of all of us becoming vegans, if we understand that hell is on the surface of earth and we have an obligation to make any journey of innocent creatures through hell as painless as possible we may finally learn to treat animals we slaughter with respect and love. Those who cause unneccessary cruelty to innocent animals act as human devils and will not get to go to heaven and remain on earth in a hell worse than they can imagine.

Earthellism can provide Mankind with the answers to animal cruelty. In the oceans, whales and dolphins commit mass fish slaughters and in the Artic, polar bears kill baby seals that are hiding under the ice. There are animal slaughters by other animals, but unlike humans, other animals kill out of neccessity and in a humane way. We have to understand that the scriptures do not tell us the true location of hell and WWII should have clearly taught us that hell on earth is the true location of hell. Anyone that commits inhumane slaughter of animals act as human devils and will remain on earth in their own private hell. God compensates all innocent suffering of animals, and we just must treat all animals humanely and slaughter them with respect and love.

Why slaughter at all? That is MY question. I have lived a very healthy life for 63 years without adding to the cruelty of animals. Eating dead corpses is totally unnecessary..........Thoughtle ss human greed absolutely disgusts me. Leave these innocent creatures alone.

Earthellism, the new philosophy based on astrobiology, solves the problem of animal cruelty, animal research and why it is ok to eat meat. Life on the surface of this planet is a journey through hell and many life forms are here to be food for others or end up as research victims. One must show respect and provide humane care for all animals even when they must be slaughtered. The Native Americans had ritual of apologizing to an animal after they wounded or killed it for food and showed respect to the animal for its sacrifice. Earthellism teaches us that all innocent pain and suffering is compensated for by God .

I have worked for Mc Donalds and I think it's disgusting what people do to these small innocent creatures that God created. I understand that animals pass and people consume them but isn't there a more humane way? Why must people feel the need to be angry and torture these animals? It's so sad it makes people frustrated to see this!!!

There is no more "humane" way to kill an animal, because it is an animal, not a human. Have you seen the lions on the Serengeti? Or better, the house cat in your back yard? Do these animals hunt with tranquilizer darts, from a tree-stand so not to alarm their prey? Do they say a little prayer to the great spirit to ease the suffering of their meal? NO! Because "humanity" and "cruelty" are concepts created by humans to preserve our numbers. It's a survival instinct, and it's for our own benefit, not the animals. Animals eat each other all day, every day, and they don't feel bad about it. Just because we've gotten really good at eating other animals, doesn't mean we have to feel bad about it.

You people are stupid if chickens could they would eat us. They eat each other just put an injured bleeding chicken in with others you will find nothing left but feathers and feet. How do you know for sure that your asparagus doesn't feel the scissors cutting them off or the boiling of the water. .

Earthellism, you're seriously out to lunch. HELL is a real place, not on earth. And the only thing that will keep ANYONE out of heaven is rejecting Jesus Christ. Now, as to chickens, I've raised and slaughtered my own chickens. It should be quick....not the way shown in the video. But i hate to tell PETA, as long as people buy, McDonalds will not listen. You will never get them to stop.


This country doesn't even respect HUMAN life. PRO CHOICERS advocate DEATH to unborn infants and you idiots want someone to stop slaughtering a chicken? Give me a break. Get your priorities straight. Put your signs/videos down and go to church.

What is it that makes us human?? It is humanity, intelligence, the mental capacity to be kind and to love. Those that are not capable of those choices due to lack of intelligence cannot be expected to be able to make those choices, it is up to us as capable individuals to stand up and progress mankind to a fuller state by being humane. We can be humane towards animals and other humans, it is not hard, it is not about survival in its rawest form any longer, many human beings are past basic survival and can live unselfish existences whilst also being compassionate. If you are intelligent and you believe this treatment to be okay then basically you are a troubled individual that should not be allowed to live amongst others in society.

Many humanswill be immersed in tanks of scalding-hot water while we are still alive and able to feel pain.
