Sparboe Farms dropped by McDonald's

McDonald's egg provider for the west of USA, Sparboe Farms, was dropped by McDonald's due to questionable management practices after a hidden camera exposed conditions in the farm. The camera depicted animal cruelty and unsanitary conditions. Sparboe Farms is the only corporation that went against The United Egg Producers and Humane Society Bill, which is set to be introduced to Congress, to set a federally implemented minimum level of conditions for laying hens. It will be interesting to see how this series of events plays out.

Humane Society files complaint against Smithfield pork

This article talk about a complaint filed by the Humane Society against Smithfield pork claiming that Smithfield used YouTube to show false information regarding Smithfield's animal rights and environmental practices. Smithfield uses techniques that confine their pigs into "gestation crate" that severely restrict the animals' movement. I am interested to see what unfolds from this complaint and if Smithfield will reconsider their practices.
