I&rsquo;m sure everyone knows that a KPOP fan can be some of the most extra kind of people in the world (no offence to anyone or to insult everyone but it&rsquo;s a bit of a known fact).
The action of this fan had caught the eyes of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and the organization had accused the popular Korean boy band BTS of supporting animal cruelty after they released their exclusive McDonald&rsquo;s BTS Meal.

PETA Asia posted a status on their official Facebook page &ldquo;Look at what an activist in Malaysia sent us! BTS, don't let your fans down. Stop promoting dead chickens!&rdquo; on the 31st of May.
The photo is a BTS fan voicing out her disappointment on a placard reading &ldquo;This fan was let down. BTS, stop promoting dead chickens!&rdquo;.

The post became viral as PETA are quite known for their controversial comments. PETA Asia also said in their post that McDonalds chicken nuggets are made from &ldquo;the flesh of tortured birds&rdquo;.
Chickens are not nuggets, but rather living, feeling beings &ndash; PETA Asia.
I wonder if the BTS fan regrets posting that sign now&hellip;
PETA Asia claims that the exclusive meal &ldquo;causes chickens to suffer and die&rdquo;
On their <a href="https://www.petaasia.com/news/bts-mcdonalds-meal-cruelty-to-chickens-butter-than-this/">website</a>, PETA had condemn BTS for collaborating with McDonald&rsquo;s.
"It's clear BTS doesn't care about chickens who suffer and have their throats slit for McNuggets in the BTS Meal," said PETA Asia.
They even argued saying chicken deserves better and are probably the most abused animal on the planet. They even encouraged humans to start practicing veganism.
"Whenever you see chicken on a menu, remember the animal who suffered a miserable existence and died a violent, painful death. No animal wants to be killed, and since eating meat is unnecessary, raising and killing chickens for food is animal abuse," they said.
&ldquo;if you don&rsquo;t want to contribute to this suffering, please go vegan today.&rdquo;

For those who don&rsquo;t know, the BTS meal comes with 10 pieces of Chicken McNuggets, a drink, medium fries and the two exclusive sauces which are sweet chili and cajun flavor.

Oh, before I forge tot mention, people are also reselling the products at ridiculous prices too. You can read about it <a href="https://www.myc.com.my/articles/176/mcd-x-bts-meals-empty-packaging-resold-at-ridiculously-high-price">here</a>.
To no surprise, BTS fans (a.k.a AMRYs) were not amused by PETA Asia&rsquo;s statement and had stormed the comments.

The comments go on and on and if you&rsquo;re bored and have nothing to do, I do suggest grabbing some popcorn and scrolling through the comments for a bit.

&nbsp;
This is not the first time PETA Asia posted something that is controversial, and this will not be the last. I do understand they intend well but they could have approached better. What do you think of this? Let us know in the comments.
