This week alone:

  • Target
    became the first major, mainstream grocer to announce a timeline for
    abolishing cages from its egg supply by going 100 percent cage-free at
    all its stores.
  • ConAgra (Egg Beaters and many other major brands) announced a cage-free
    timeline.
  • Norwegian Cruise Lines announced a cage-free timeline.
  • Taco John’s (a 400-location chain serving breakfast) announced a cage-free timeline.
  • And
    California Pizza Kitchen
    announced a cage-free timeline.

So much progress and we’re only a few weeks into the year. Speaking of 2016: It may be the 21st century, but the pork industry is still stuck in the

Dark Ages
, which I detail in this new op-ed.

Finally, HSUS’s groundbreaking, nationwide work helping school districts slash their meat usage continues, as

chronicled
in this new story.
