| Wendy's uses eggs exclusively from caged hens who are confined so tightly they can't even spread their wings. |
Since March 2007, The HSUS has repeatedly called attention to the fact that Wendy's won't make even the most modest improvement in its animal welfare policy as it relates to the hens laying eggs for its restaurants.
Despite hearing from tens of thousands of consumers that they want the company to change, Wendy's has steadfastly refused to do the right thing and move away from battery-cage confinement.
As Wendy's moves into the new year, it's time for the company to make a resolution to stop lagging behind its competitors when it comes to animal welfare.
Time to Do What's Right, Wendy's
Burger King, Carl's Jr. and Hardees have all taken steps to move away from battery eggs, and there is no reason Wendy's can't do the same. Compass Group—the world's largest food service provider—recently announced its first step toward eliminating its use of cage eggs.
Hundreds of universities, grocery stores, food service providers, hotels, hospitals, and restaurants have also started using cage-free eggs. Even tech giants like AOL, Google, and Microsoft don't serve cage eggs in their corporate cafeterias. Wolfgang Puck and Ben & Jerry's are also ending their use of eggs from caged birds.
With 2008 upon us, Wendy's is clearly behind the times with its exclusive use of cage eggs. The company has the opportunity to reduce animal suffering this year by moving away from cage eggs.
