We’ll take a Big Mac and a 10-piece McNugget — hold the mice.
In a move that would send the health inspector from Ratatouille into a trauma-induced spiral, a group of activists decided to protest McDonald’s over their views on the ongoing conflict in Gaza, unleashing several boxes of dyed mice throughout a few of the chain restaurant’s locations in Birmingham, England on Monday and Tuesday.

In a clip depicting one of the incidents, which has since gone viral on social media, one protester can be seen grabbing a large box of dyed mice from the trunk of their car, heading towards the entrance of the restaurant, and spilling the box on the restaurant floor.
“Free f—king Palestine!” the protester yelled as they sprinted away from the restaurant. “Boycott Israel! F—k Israel!”
Though one man was arrested in connection with the demonstration, McDonald’s was naturally still less-than-thrilled with the fact that a few of their stores were now home to a s—tton of mice, avowing that they would get the impacted locations nice and clean.
“Following the removal of the mice, the restaurant has been fully sanitized and our pest control partners have been called out to conduct a full inspection,” said a spokesperson for the chain.
Local authorities may still be looking into the protest — “We will hunt down and prosecute anyone who commits such acts,” West Midlands police said per The Guardian — yet one thing is certain: We would most definitely not like mice with that.
