| theflyonthewall.com: | Activists press DineEquity to use more humane egg supplier, LA Times says | | Animal rights activists are going after DineEquity Inc. (DIN), the Glendale parent of the IHOP and Applebee's restaurant chains, buy eggs from more-humane producers, the LA Times reports. The Humane Society of the United States is circulating a video of what it describes as inhumane conditions at a Le Sueur, Minn., facility owned by Michael Foods Inc., one of IHOP's egg suppliers. It's part of the Humane Society's efforts to steer restaurants away from serving eggs produced in "battery cages," which are pens shared by several birds, each of which gets living space about the size of a piece of paper. In a referendum in November, California voters outlawed battery cages. The law does not take effect until 2015. Michigan adopted a similar law Monday. DineEquity says it has no plans to change its egg suppliers now, and it also said it was not clear that keeping hens in battery cages was any worse than other ways of producing eggs.
