Ronald’s busy peddling dead, dismembered chickens to children, so McDonald’s hired Rick Wion to promote its cruel products on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. So let’s welcome Rick to our big, happy online family and politely let him know why we’re not eating at McDonald’s.

PETA has more than 60,000 followers on Twitter, so this is a great opportunity for us all to band together and encourage McDonald’s new director of social media to do what he can to help chickens from the inside by signing our Twitition.

If you haven’t already, “like” PETA on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to stay in the know about ways you can help chickens and other animals!
