NPR reports Chickens and Pigs won a big victory against Burger King, who will now let them stretch their legs and get some exercise. Burger King Makes Cage-Free Eggs, Pork Promise by The Associated Press April 25, 2012 In a boost to animal welfare activists looking to get livestock out of cramped cages, Burger King will be the first major U.S. fast-food chain to give all of its chickens and pigs some room to roam. On Wednesday, the world's second-biggest burger chain pledged that all of its eggs and pork will come from cage-free chickens and pigs by 2017, hoping to satisfy rising consumer demand for humanely produced fare and increase its sales in the process. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...ryId=151350551
