Focus Brands, Inspire Brands, and Au Bon Pain Cruelty

These global food companies are being exposed for their failure to be honest about their cage-free progress.

They all pledged to ban the use of cruel cages throughout their supply chains. The world applauded their global commitments and these companies profited from cage-free promises but now they’re hiding their progress, or lack thereof, from the public.

These cages are so small and packed with birds that the hens can’t move or spread their wings. Often, their body parts are caught in the caging, resulting in fractured or broken bones, deformities, and severe feather loss. Some hens, exhausted or unable to move, are trampled to death by their cage mates. Those who don’t die from the abuse spend their miserable lives trapped with dead birds at their feet. Customers have been misled and have a right to know what their hard-earned money is paying for.

It’s time for these companies to be honest with their customers and stop profiting from animal abuse.
