Oh Ryan Ryan Ryan.
Ryan Gosling may not be vegetarian, but that’s not stopping him from ruffling feathers at McDonald’s over the company’s outdated chicken-slaughter practices. The 29-year-old Canadian actor has just fired off a letter on behalf of PETA to McDonald’s CEO Jim Skinner. Check it:
“Dear Mr. Skinner, I was shocked to learn from my friends at PETA that McDonald’s, a company that claims to be an industry leader in animal welfare, still allows its suppliers to use an outdated chicken slaughter method that results in broken wings and legs and causes birds to be scalded to death in defeathering tanks.

I just spent about 45 minutes reading sites about animal cruelty. Most interesting were the ones that discussed meat eaters who were against animal cruelty.
In my opinion it’s harder to understand passionate vegetarians who use any kind of animal products. Though I do partly mean dairy, I’m more confused by vegetarians that use leather products of any kind. This is something I’ve been confused about for a while. I’ll have to try to find a wikipedia page on it. lol.
I guess I feel like there are people who are against the TORTURE of animals and then there are people who are against both the TORTURE and KILLING of animals. These second people shouldn’t support any torture or killing of animals, right? And, animals need to be killed to make real leather jackets (or shoes or purses or whatever), right? So how can a vegetarian that is against killing animals to eat them be ok with killing animals to wear them?
P.S. I am a meat eater who is also against animal cruelty. I also love Ryan Gosling.
