McDonalds to Use Cage-Free Eggs in Trial Study
McDonald's announced that they'll be using eggs from cage-free hens
in 2011 in their Egg McMuffins and other breakfast offerings as a trial
study. Currently McDonald's uses 3 billion eggs annually from battery
caged hens and according to animal rights activists McDonalds in the US
is doing everything possible not to transition to cage-free eggs as it
already has done in Britain, where almost all of the chain's eggs come
from free-range chickens and the chain has a commitment to use 100%
cage-free birds by 2010.

battery cage
McDonald's, by not implementing a cage-free regulation, shows no
compassion for hens. Once more, profit trumps compassion for God's
animals. This is a clear example where the consumer has the power to
bring change and alleviate the suffering of hens by not supporting
companies that still use eggs in their products.
