Apart from a few exceptions, we don’t see a whole lot of sign-in-hand protesting around these parts. Even on campus. Many people say true protesting is a lost art. Well, it wasn’t lost April 24 on the group of people protesting in front of Menomonie’s McDonald’s. About a dozen people gathered to protest the restaurants’ (meaning all American McDonald’s’s) chicken-slaughtering methods. According to protester Katherine Johnson: “PETA and its activists ask that the McDonald’s corporation switch their slaughter methods over to a much more effective and humane method called Controlled Atmosphere Killing. This method uses inert gasses to put the chickens to sleep quickly, painlessly, and gently before they are sent to slaughter. This method will not only be good for the chickens but will protect slaughter house workers as well, as many workers are injured in the process.”
