Petition: Tell Waffle House to Eliminate Animal Abuses From Their Supply Chains

What's the story?

• Waffle House gets a hard "F" in animal welfare. The southern diner has done nothing to mitigate or eliminate the cruel and inhumane treatment of the pigs, chickens, and cows that make up its supply chain.
• This ignominious rating was delivered by the Humane Society's Food Industry Scorecard—a year-long audit that examines 100 of the nation's largest food companies' progress toward reducing animal suffering in their supply chains. 
• Waffle House received a score of -38.10% and shared the lowest ranking - #66 - with seven other offenders.

"Waffle House has no commitments that meaningfully address any of the most pressing concerns—and to our knowledge, it never has."

The report added:

"Moving forward, we encourage the company to: A) adopt meaningful policies regarding its pork, egg and chicken supply chains; and B) add a plant-based entrée to its menu."

How are the animals treated? Warning: Graphic photos

• The Humane Society is committed to reducing the dismal conditions of most factory-farmed meat, which often include the following situations:

Mother pigs locked in gestation crates so tiny they can’t turn around. 

Hens crammed so tightly in cages they can't spread their wings.

Chickens bred to grow so large they suffer agonizing leg disorders.
