Burger King is improving its animal welfare policies to begin addressing some of the worst abuses endured by farm animals. The company is taking action on three critical areas: battery cages for laying hens, gestation crates for breeding pigs, and slaughter methods for chickens. Get all the details in this morning's New York Times article.

As the second-largest fast-food company in the country, the recently announced changes in Burger King's policies will affect thousands of animals positively.

While we're still a long way from ending farm animal cruelty, Burger King's commitment to begin moving away from some of the most egregious cruelties is truly precedent-setting in the fast food industry. Animal advocates should be proud to see this improvement and continue campaigning for even more.
