A graphic protest took place Monday at a Charlottesville fast food restaurant.
A member of the animal rights group PETA dressed as Ronald McDonald. He hung up-side down at the McDonald's restaurant with his throat cut by a giant chicken under a banner reading McDonald's cuts live animals' throats.
McDonald's says it slaughters all of its chickens in as humane a manner as possible.
PETA says it is protesting against the suffering McDonald's inflicts on the birds.
PETA Protester Ashley Byrne says, "PETA's chicken is getting her revenge today against Ronald McDonald for representing a company that tortures chickens in ways that would warrant felony cruelty charges if dogs or cats were the victims."
PETA representatives called police when a man protested their protest by eating a chicken sandwich he just bought from McDonald's. He left before police arrived.

These are chickens people! Only a step above PETA and two above a cantaloupe. There is a bumper sticker popular in these parts: PETA- People Eating Tasty Animals.
PETA is welcome to come to Harrisonburg's McDonalds. I will eat a chicken sandwich in front of them, and smack anyone who tries to stop me. PETA has overstepped their boundaries.
What a bunch of idiots! If PETA really wants to be taken seriously as an organization for animal rights, this is NOT the way to do it! I have never really had a problem with PETA, but if this is the kind of people they allow to represent them, than forget it, I have no respect for that organization any longer.
