International Dairy Queen claims to be a leader on farm animal welfare. In the U.S. and Canada the
company has committed to selling only cage-free eggs—which are healthier for customers and less cruel
to animals.

But Dairy Queen has a dirty secret: it continues to serve its guests eggs from hens packed in filthy, cruel
cages in restaurants in other parts of the world, including Asia.

3
On caged egg farms, birds often have to climb on top of one another to move around. They struggle
desperately to escape. They will never be able to fully spread their wings or engage in natural behaviors.

4
Hens often have their feathers scraped off from constantly rubbing the cage bars. Others suffer foot
deformities from spending their lives on wire cage floors.

5
Birds defecate in the same barren cages they lay eggs in. Faeces piles up just inches away from birds and
eggs.

6
Hens that die begin to rot in their cages alongside live birds still laying eggs for human consumption.

Dairy Queen’s use of caged eggs isn’t just cruel to animals—it also creates serious food safety risks for its
customers around the world.

8
The European Food Safety Authority has found that confining hens in cages dramatically increases the
risk of salmonella contamination, with caged egg farms being 25 times more likely to be contaminated
with certain strains of salmonella.

Other leading international restaurant chains have pledged to use only cage-free eggs globally by 2025—
including Papa John's, Burger King, Costa Coffee, Shake Shack and many more. But not Dairy Queen.

It’s time for Dairy Queen to stop discriminating against Asian customers and stop supporting animal
cruelty. It's time for Dairy Queen to commit to going cage-free in Asia.
