Protest Denny's Silence on Animal Cruelty

Join Animal Equality and activists outside of the Violet Crown Theater in a protest against the extreme abuse toward pregnant pigs in Denny's supply chain. Denny's, the diner that's "Always Open," is allowing a practice that is so cruel, it is already banned in 11 US states and hundreds of companies have pledge to phase it out--the use of cruel cages. Dawn Lafreeda, Denny's top franchisee who owns around 80 Denny's restaurants and who is on the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, is turning a blind eye to the suffering of animals she profits from. She is an executive producer and star of Show Her The Money, which will be screening at the Violet Crown that evening. In 2012, the restaurant chain made a public commitment to end the use of gestation crates. After more than 10 years, the majority of female breeding pigs in Denny's supply chain are still confined to metal cages so small they can't even turn around. They spend nearly their entire lives this way. Denny's recently removed its goal of ending this horrific practice and now refuses to engage animal protection groups and even customers who are concerned about the failed commitment. Hundreds of calls, emails, and social media comments have gone ignored. Despite thousands of calls to do so, Dawn Lafreeda remains silent and continues to talk about how much she loves money instead of doing the right thing. Posters will be provided. Please wear all black if you can and avoid any messaging on clothing. Time and date is subject to change, so check back for any updates.
