Hardee's Cruelty

Is Hardee's betraying its customers and the animals in its supply chain?

In 2016, Hardee's promised customers it would put an end to horrific animal cruelty in its supply chain by phasing out cruel cages by 2025. But now, Hardee's is refusing to tell customers what progress—if any—it's made on its cage-free egg commitment.

Many of Hardee's competitors have already met their cage-free egg commitments, like McDonald's and Taco Bell. Others are publicly reporting progress, like Jack in the Box and White Castle. Meanwhile, Hardee's is lagging behind and has not demonstrated if it's taken any steps to stop supporting the archaic practice of caging egg-laying hens.

Hens trapped in cages have no space to move or engage in any natural behaviors. They are forced to live, breathe, and lay eggs for human consumption amongst feces and rotting bodies. For hens in cages, it’s hell on earth. Customers have been misled and have a right to know what their hard-earned money is paying for.

Hardee's is being heartless and risking losing the trust of its customers. It’s time for Hardee's to tell the truth about its eggs by publicly reporting progress toward its 100% cage-free egg commitment!
