The animal-rights group PETA is preparing a campaign against McDonald’s Corp., hoping to pressure the fast-food giant into changing the way millions of chickens are raised and slaughtered.
With its campaign, budgeted at about $500,000 this year, PETA is hoping to spur industry-wide change by pressuring an iconic chain that uses three billion eggs and 290 million chickens a year.
McDonald’s said it is committed to “humane treatment of animals by our suppliers in every part of the world where we do business.” And some members of McDonald’s animal welfare advisory board said they will support the chain in resisting PETA’s demands.
