The new
cage-free commitment by Tim Hortons follows similar announcements by Dunkin’
Donuts, Starbucks, Subway, McDonald’s, and Wendy’s. In fact, nearly 100
major restaurants, retailers, food manufacturers, and foodservice companies have pledged to go
cage-free.

Hens on egg factory farms are stuffed into cages so
small they can’t walk, spread their wings, or engage in other simple
natural behaviors. Many birds become trapped in the cage wire or under feed trays. Dead hens are
often left to rot alongside birds still laying eggs for human consumption.

While
cage-free doesn’t mean cruelty-free, this commitment from Tim Hortons
will reduce the suffering of countless hens and hopefully inspire other food
companies to adopt similar policies. It’s high time that Safeway listened to consumers and adopted a cage-free egg policy of its own.
