PETAfirst contacted Gardner late last year and asked that the flag be removedbecause the organization said McDonald's promotes cruelty to animals and unhealthy eating habits for teens. “Ronald McDonaldis the food industry’s fat Joe Camel,” Friedrich said. “Vegetarianism is healthy and humaneand in keeping with the values our schools should promote.” PETAwasfounded in 1980 and has more than 600,000 members worldwide.It is the largest animal rights organization in the world. “PETAoperates underthe sim- ple principle that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on or use for entertainment. PETAis dedicated to establishing and protecting the rightsof all animals,” the lawsuit says. Gardner said her school got caught in the crossfire of a fight between PETA and McDonald's. “Wetook the flag down andan- nouncedit to the students. I had students who were really upset. Frankly, I'd rather have them eat a Happy Meal than candy and pop from the machines,” she said. Gardner added: “If anything, this has deepened [McDonald's] commitmentto us.” OBITUARIES UTAH DEATHS 4, Salt Lake City, Larkin Jan_ 26, Salt Lake City Deseret Mortuary.
