Two Greenpeace protestors dressed as chickens have been arrested for chaining themselves to pillars inside a McDonald's restaurant in Manchester this morning.

Greater Manchester police confirmed that a man and a woman were arrested at the Oxford Street branch of the US fast food chain at about 09:30 BST on suspicion of aggravated trespass.

It comes as Greenpeace launched a nationwide campaign to draw attention to what it claims are links between McDonald's and the destruction of the Amazon rainforest.

The environmental activists claim to have conducted a year-long undercover investigation into the global trade in Amazon soya and have published a new report today based on satellite images, aerial surveillance, previously unreleased government documents and on-the-ground monitoring.

I hate their "king" commericals. That face is scary.
