Hi Sammy,
Thanks for contacting us about this!
Right here is the response from my colleague Josh B. in our Farm Animal Safety division:
“While Dominos has so far been an outlier and remained neutral on the issue, much more than 60 main meals businesses – including Domino’s competitors like Papa John’s – have pledged to boost animal welfare in their supply chains by getting rid of gestation crate confinement. The checklist contains McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, Costco, Safeway, Oscar Mayer, and dozens far more.
You can see what these organizations have to say about this situation right here.”
Let me know if you have any even more questions!

Second Message from Tim McIntyre at Dominos when I asked him to be more direct:
I did response your question. And it is not a basic “yes or no” query, despite what you may possibly think. The issue to far as well complex for an solution so simplistic.
We are operating by way of the situation with our suppliers.
We are not animal professionals. We feel in taking the guidance of folks who are: veterinarians, researchers and the farmers themselves. There is a constrained provide of pork accessible via farms that provide much more open housing. We do get from individuals farms via our suppliers, and consequently have crate-totally free pork in our supply chain, but aren’t going to make any false claims about our provide.
Except if or till the supply of crate-free pork increases drastically, yes, we program to use these suppliers – as will every major restaurant chain and grocery shop in America. We purchase what is obtainable. The only other alternative is to stop offering pork, which most shoppers are against.
In my personal investigation on this subject, I identified this internet website, which tells an additional side of the story, because there always is yet another side: www.porkcares.org
