Animal Equality took to the streets of New York City to show the truth behind Denny's. The chain, known as "America's Diner," has refused to make meaningful progress for mother pigs in its supply chain after fully abandoning its 2012 animal welfare commitment to end the use of gestation crates.
In many countries, gestation crates are the cages that impregnated female pigs are kept in for all but the last five to ten days of their pregnancies. For the nearly four months of their gestation, they live inside a cage that is barely bigger than the size of their bodies, roughly two by seven feet. They can lie down, sit and stand but cannot turn around, walk, avoid the aggression from neighboring pigs or build a nest as they normally would.
Gestation crates are so cruel they are banned in eleven US states, in the United Kingdom and Sweden, and are limited in the rest of the European Union.
Major companies across all sectors are on track to seriously reduce the use of gestation crates in their supply chains, as a step to eliminating crates entirely, by 2025 or 2026, including Jack in the Box, Burger King, McDonald's, and Wendy’s. Other prominent companies, like Chipotle and Shake Shack, have been crate-free for years.
We can’t let Denny's continue to ignore mother pigs who are suffering in crates. These animals need us to fight for them.

Times Square today because we're going
to be asking people what they think
about Denny's association with animal
cruelty
[Music]
you just watched this video about what
happens to pigs in Denny's supply chain
what did you think absolutely horrific I
didn't even know this was happening to
pigs anywhere so that's cruel their
feelings they feel hurt they feel pain
ah it's not good it's terrible yeah
she parsley is like what if that was me
is that how it's care to be treated and
seeing something like that that's not
okay I thought that was so sad oh my God
I didn't know Denny's did that honestly
that
I can
I like penny
I feel guilty now it was ready to
starving and not nice to see that that
happened to animals I just didn't know
Denny's was like that open about it
maybe it's obviously not that open
because this is why you're doing this
but obviously I mean you're doing it so
obviously it's something that needs to
be talked about it needs to be uh you
know shed more awareness and light on
you're forced to get as much product out
as possible so they're not caring about
how the animals feel they're not caring
about what it may what it may take
because they're just like at the end of
the day you're gonna want this bacon so
let's give it to you but it's it's not
right do you have a message for Denny's
after watching that if we demand a
different change especially out of
Denny's then it changed what happened I
haven't been there a lot like in the in
the recent past but I used to go there
as a kid and stuff like that it kind of
makes me not want to go there probably
won't eat there anymore I don't want to
eat at Denny's anymore I work night
shift so usually like when I get off
Denny's is the only thing that's open
but I don't think I'm gonna go to
Denny's anymore there's other options I
can get my pancakes elsewhere Denny's
that needs to stop but no more Denny's
