The true state of **animal welfare** in⁣ CKE and its brands, Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s, ⁤is far from a ​”happily ever after.” ‌Despite the warm and friendly image they project, the reality is more akin​ to a horror story ⁢for the animals involved.

The vast majority of egg-laying hens under their purview are‌ condemned to a life in tiny, barren cages. ⁣These cages don’t just⁤ limit movement; they cripple any ⁣semblance of natural behavior ​these ⁢hens would‍ exhibit. Companies‌ across the industry are evolving, embracing **cage-free environments**, but CKE seems to⁢ be clinging⁤ to outdated and inhumane practices.

Humane Treatment Suffering and Neglect
Progressive Policies Stuck in the Past

It’s a **shocking contrast** to the serene,‍ idyllic farms often imagined when one thinks of food ​sourcing. The expose urges that it’s ​time for a new story to begin, one where animal welfare is prioritized and fairytale farms become our reality.
