McDonalds UK up for animal welfare award
Yep, you read that right. McDonald's in the United Kingdom, which operates separately from its US counterpart, may be receiving an award for improvements made in regards to the treatment of animals used for their products. McDonald's is on the list for the RSPCA Good Business Award along with nominees like Whole Foods and Lush cosmetics.
I do remember some time back McDonald's calling for better conditions for chickens in the United States but it seems odd for a company that makes its living off from the flesh of cows to be nominated as an animal do-gooder. Apparently though McDonald's UK has made efforts to use only free-range eggs in their products -- even the mayonnaise. They also have change the design of their McFlurry container to keep hedgehogs from meeting an untimely demise. If a global giant is willing to change its ways then there is the hope that other farms and restaurants will follow suit.
