"Man can be the most affectionate and altruistic
 of creatures, yet he's potentially more vicious
 than any other. He is the only one who can be
 persuaded to hate millions of his own kind 
whom he has never seen and to kill as many 
as he can lay his hands on in the name of
 his tribe or his God."
-Benjamin Spock, pediatrician and author (1903-1998)

Their cognitive abilities surpass even those of dogs, cats and some primates. Chickens killed for McDonald's are slaughtered using an outdated method that results in extreme suffering. As one of the biggest sellers of chicken meat, McDonald's has the responsibility—and the ability—to reduce this abuse by demanding that its U.S. and Canadian suppliers use a less cruel slaughter method.
