Cracker Barrel and Dunkin’: Stop Abusing Animals!

The Issue

Cracker Barrel and Dunkin’ Brands each made a promise to the public that their restaurants would go cage-free. But the reality of the situation is very different; there has been little to no progress on these commitments. Simply put, these companies are not doing enough. Cracker Barrel and Dunkin’ need to do more to address the extreme suffering of chickens in their supply chains now! 

Despite their promises, these restaurants are still supporting the cruel practice of caging egg-laying hens. The cages in their supply chains are so small and packed with birds that the hens can’t move or spread their wings. Often, their body parts are caught in the caging, resulting in fractured or broken bones, deformities, and severe feather loss. Some hens, exhausted or unable to move, are trampled to death by their cage mates. Those that don’t die from the abuse spend their miserable lives trapped with dead birds at their feet. 

We can’t wait on Cracker Barrel and Dunkin’s empty words anymore - we must see results. Animals are counting on us to hold these companies accountable. 

Please sign and share this petition asking Cracker Barrel and Dunkin’ leadership to take their promises seriously and accelerate their progress. 


Thank you for helping countless hens today!
