Burger King will also eliminate battery cages and gestation crates from their U.S. supply chain. They will only do business with pork suppliers who have detailed plans to end their use of gestation crates.

Burger King has joined McDonalds and Wendys, becoming the 3 largest restaurant chains and Compass Group, the world’s largest food service company in becoming pacesetters and doing the right thing for animals.
