Proverbs 12:10

"A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast:
but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel."


New Yorker writer Michael Specter

On his first visit to a chicken farm:

"I was almost knocked to the ground by the overpowering smell
of feces and ammonia. My eyes burned and so did my lungs, and I could neither see nor breathe….There must have been thirty thousand chickens sitting silently on the floor in front of me. They didn’t move, didn’t cluck. They were almost like statues of chickens, living in nearly total darkness, and they would spend every minute of their six-week lives that way."

—Michael Specter, New Yorker, April 14, 2003.

Dunkin' Donuts' Egg Supplier Exposed!



In August 2009, a Compassion Over Killing investigator worked inside an egg factory farm in Minnesota owned by Michael Foods, one of the nation's largest egg producers. While employed there, the investigator used a hidden camera to document horrific abuses including:
  • Hens immobilized in the wires of their cages, unable to access food or water
  • Decomposing and "mummified" corpses left in cages with live birds
  • A Michael Foods employee decapitating a hen
  • Birds suffering from overcrowding, severe feather loss, and untreated injuries.
Minnesota-based Michael Foods supplies eggs to several national restaurant chains, including Dunkin' Donuts. Compassion Over Killing has reached out to Dunkin Donuts numerous times to inquire about the treatment of hens in its supply chain and to encourage the company to make meaningful changes for hens--and consumers--by making vegan donuts.
Dunkin Donuts has not yet taken this important issue seriously. Please ACT NOW by contacting Dunkin Donuts today!
