Tim Hortons: Stop supporting animal abuse!

Neglected. Confined. Suffering. Tim Hortons is failing. Hens forced to live in cages for Tim Hortons' supply chain endure a life of constant misery. It doesn’t have to be this way. Major companies worldwide are ditching cages, and consumer demand for cage-free eggs is growing. It’s time for Tim Hortons and its parent company, Restaurant Brands International, to stop supporting needless animal cruelty.

Confinement

Egg-laying hens are forcefully shoved inside wire cages, which do not adequately provide for their welfare. The cages are so overcrowded that hens cannot carry out many important, basic behaviours. Some hens cannot endure this extreme suffering and die in their cages.

Injuries

Foot and claw damage are more frequent in cages than in other systems, with lesions, fissures, and twisted or broken claws resulting from stepping on sharp wiring every day. Often, other body parts are caught in the caging, which results in fractured or broken bones, deformities, and severe feather loss.

Mental Anguish

Like any animal, chickens are highly motivated to perform natural behaviors. Although some cage farms provide some token enrichment, it is so poor that it is of little or no significance to hens. The constant inability to perform any actions that feel natural leads to immense and unending frustration.
