Sir Paul McCartney was outraged when he found out that pictures of the Beatles had been placed prominently in a McDonald’s in his home town. His image appeared alongside former band mates John Lennon, Ringo Starr and George Harrison.
McCartney was outraged because he has been a vocal advocate of vegetarianism for 30 years. He is a supporter of animal rights, president of the Vegetarian Society of Great Britain and an ambassador for People for the Ethical treatment of Animals (PETA).
Geoff Baker, a spokesman for Sir Paul said: “What sort of morons do McDonald’s think Beatles’ fans are.
“It’s ridiculous and insulting to use images to peddle hamburgers. Fans should boycott McDonald’s, and not just in Liverpool.”
A McDonald’s spokesperson said that the pictures were to “acknowledge the outstanding contribution the Beatles made to both local and global culture.”
