its U.S. pork will come from sows housed in groups during pregnancy by the

CAWS
UNACCEPTABLE
In what we perceive to be poor excuses for nonperformance,
McDonald's has blamed "industry-wide challenges for farmers
and producers, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and global
swine disease outbreaks" for its failure to make good on its
commitment to end gestation crate use
We believe that McDonald's should have been prioritizing and
advancing on this issue well before these challenges arose
McDonald's should not blame recent headwinds as the reason
it has failed to honor the important pledge made over a
decade ago
At this year's Annual Meeting, shareholders can send the McDonald's Board a message and hold it
accountable to end inhumane animal treatment in its supply chain once and for all.
