Environmental protestors dressed as giant chickens chained themselves to chairs in a McDonald's fast food restaurant in Southampton.
Half a dozen Greenpeace activists entered the West Quay Road restaurant on Thursday morning to protest at the company's policies in South America.
The organisation said it had also fly-posted other restaurants across the city overnight on Wednesday.
Hampshire Police said they were called to oversee the protest.
They confirmed half a dozen protesters took part.
The protest was one of several at McDonald's outlets across the country.
