BK taking a step in the right direction
Burger King announced that by 2017 all it's eggs and pork will come from cage-free chickens and pigs.
In 2007 Burger King became the first major fast-food restaurant chain to incorporate animal welfare issues into its purchasing policies when it began sourcing at least some of its pork and eggs from cage-free suppliers.
Since then Wal-Mart and Costco have transitioned their private-label eggs to 100 percent cage-free. Unilever, which uses 350 million eggs a year in its Hellmann's mayonnaise brand, is switching to 100 percent cage-free, and others such as Sonic, Subway, Ruby Tuesday, Kraft Food and ConAgra Foods are incorporating some percentage of cage-free eggs in their products.

Re: BK taking a step in the right direction
I want to be happy, but it's to bad that the term "cage free" has no actual legal ramifications. Beaks are still mutilated and cut off (without any anesthesia) so that these "cage free" chickens won't peck at each other. The male chicks (which they don't need since they don't lay eggs) are still thrown out WHILE ALIVE or crushed to death in a trash compactor.
It's awful and sickening how chickens and pigs are treated in factory farming. Sorry to be a downer but it's the truth and things like Burger King saying "Oh, we're using cage free happy chickens" is just another lie. They're not happy.
I could go on and on, but I'll stop here.
