LOS ANGELES — McDonald's apologized and pulled an ad that came back to bite them.

The ad that said eating a Chicken McBite was less risky than petting a pit bull enraged pit bull owners and their defenders.
McDonald's spokeswoman Ashlee Yingling said Monday the Kansas City-area radio ad for Chicken McBites ran just a few days before it was pulled Friday.
The company issued an apology by email and social media sites and people who called a toll free number got a recorded apology.
Rachele Lizarraga of Sacramento says she found it reckless so she started a Facebook site and an online petition.
Some critics said McDonald's should also donate to pit bull causes or use a pit in an ad.
No word from McDonald's on those ideas.
I was surprised to see all the ignorant fools who sided with McDonalds on this one, posting supportive comments as to the visciousness of pitbulls under the original msnbc article. We still have a long way to go people! Bob

There is already a petition asking Rotten Ronnie's to portray pitbulls in a positive light in their next commercial, in addition to making a donation to a rescue org. It accumulated thousands of signatures within hours, I can post the link if anyone wants. It is also on the FB page Pitbulls against McDonald's.
