PETA accuses BTS of contributing to animal cruelty due to McDonald's promotions

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) accused BTS of contributing to animal cruelty because of their promotions for McDonald's.

The BTS x McDonald's collaboration meal officially launched on May 26, and the international fast food chain released a commercial featuring the Big Hit Music group themselves as well. Soon afterwards, PETA Asia began accusing BTS of promoting animal cruelty.

The animal rights organization posted an image, stating, "Partnering with McDonald's on the BTS Meal shows that BTS doesn't care about chickens who suffer and have their throat slits for McNuggets. Promote love, not cruelty!" The organization also shared an image of a fan holding up a sign that says, "This fan was let down. BTS, stop promoting dead chickens!"

However, other BTS fans are citing PETA's allegedly questionable treatment of animals as well.

What are your thoughts on PETA's post?

With or without the BTS collaboration, McDonalds (like the other huge food chains) will still continue making animal-based food.
