A Humane World

Commitments to improve the quality of life for animals shouldn’t be empty promises. Since Target made its much-lauded announcement about its intentions to go cage- and crate-free for egg-laying hens and pregnant pigs, a decade has passed. The company recently announced that it would continue to sell eggs sourced from caged hens through 2025 and potentially beyond that, effectively breaking its promise on switching to cage-free eggs. And it still has not met its goal to eliminate gestation crates for pigs in its supply chain, a promise it made in 2012.
