Gaia launches new anti-animal cruelty campaign for McDonald's on Beursplein

Outcry over conditions in McDonald's slaughterhouses

Animal rights group Gaia has launched a new campaign against animal cruelty at McDonald's. The campaign is focused on the conditions in McDonald's slaughterhouses and the suffering of animals raised for the fast-food chain.

McDonald's accused of animal cruelty

Gaia has accused McDonald's of being complicit in the cruel treatment of animals and has called on the company to make changes to its animal welfare policies.

The group has released a video showing footage of animals being slaughtered in McDonald's slaughterhouses. The video shows animals being killed in a variety of ways, including being shot in the head, stabbed in the neck, and having their throats cut.

McDonald's defends its animal welfare policies

McDonald's has defended its animal welfare policies, saying that they meet or exceed industry standards.

The company says that it requires its suppliers to adhere to strict animal welfare standards and that it regularly audits its suppliers to ensure that they are meeting these standards.

Public outcry over McDonald's animal cruelty

The release of Gaia's video has sparked a public outcry over the conditions in McDonald's slaughterhouses.

A number of people have taken to social media to express their disgust at the treatment of animals at McDonald's and to call for the company to change its policies.

Next steps for Gaia

Gaia is calling on McDonald's to make a number of changes to its animal welfare policies, including:

• Ending the use of gestation crates for pregnant pigs
• Requiring all suppliers to provide animals with outdoor access
• Banning the use of antibiotics in animal feed

Gaia is also calling on consumers to boycott McDonald's until the company makes these changes.
