BK veggie burger doesn't sit well with animal rights
activists (6/6/2002)
An animal rights
group says Burger King’s new veggie burger is not made its way.
Friends
of Animals (FoA), a national animal rights group, complains that Burger
King’s new meatless alternative is cooked on the same grill as other
meat and the buns on which the burgers are served contain butter – a
no-no for a strict vegan who consumes no animal by-products.
The
FoA emphasizes its concern about the use of butter in the veggie burger
buns. It claims that "butter comes from an industry which exploits
the reproductive cycles of cows," and the exploitation of female
animals is a serious concern.
People
for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) activists demonstrated at a
Minneapolis Burger King in celebration of the new burger. Several
activists, including one dressed in a cow costume carrying a sign that
read, "I can live with the new BK veggie burger," visited a
local Burger King to advocate the veggie burger.
