Dear Executives of Wendy's Restaurants:

I am dismayed by Wendy's lack of animal welfare reforms since the company pledged in 2001 to initiate improvements. Wendy's has yet to diminish the misery of animals slaughtered for its products.

Wendy's pig meat still originates in factories that warehouse 600-pound sows in metal gestations stalls for a motionless life atop cement slats. The animals, who cannot shift position, inhale ammonia and hydrogen sulfide fumes from manure heaped under their crates.

Wendy's eggs are derived from producers who pack 6-9 hens inside wire coops no larger than a filing drawer. For her entire life, each bird occupies a space half the size of a sheet of paper. To curtail fighting and cannibalism, suppliers amputate the bottom third of each bird's sensitive beak.

Wendy's chicken meat is still produced in overcrowded grower houses where birds are genetically manipulated to fatten them for slaughter. Most can't support their unnatural weight and suffer broken limbs, dehydration, respiratory ailments, heat prostration, bacterial infections and cancer. On the kill line, birds dangle upside down from a revolving rail. Their heads are submerged in electrified water baths that merely paralyze them. Still cognizant, the birds pass through imprecise, mechanized throat slashers. Some fall from the racks with non- mortal wounds. Still conscious, they're pitched into feather-extracting tanks of scalding water. Workers call the boiled alive birds "redskins."

As you are aware, Burger King recently vowed to purchase most of its pig meat and eggs from suppliers that don't immobilize sows and hens in cruel enclosures. Burger King also agreed to seek chicken meat from producers that utilize more humane slaughter methods.

Wendy's, on the other hand, has turned its back on millions of farmed animals. Consumers who believe animals deserve better treatment know there is an alternative to every cruel farming system. We ask Wendy's to lead the way in humane reforms.

Your company can outshine Burger King with some research and action. Please make compassion an integral part of Wendy's purchasing policy.

Thank you,

about web petitions
When you use the web petition instead of direct-send, your comments — and everyone else's — come from one place: Our website server.

  • Create a spam effect that angers recipients and hurts outcome for animals.
  • Compel recipients to block the entire petition, so no one's comments get through.


Your own voice makes more impact. Try to change some words in letter.
