Octopi Target McDonald’s

We have usually heard reports
of protesters to McDonalds
because of things like french fries
that aren’t even vegetarian safe,
and even though their methods
for killing animals for their fast food
is now considered less stressful
to the animal (though couldn’t
you argue that killing an animal
is enough stress for animals?),
we enjoyed hearing about this
protest. In December, there was
a demonstration against the opening
of a McDonald’s in southern France.
500 protested, using a catapult
to bombard the restaurant with
local catches of fresh octopus.
A high-pressure hose and a
bucket of octopi, using their
McTentacles, to stick it to them.
