As the American Farm Bureau Federation was having an Ag Pizza Party - encouraging folks to thank Domino’s Pizza for relying on animal experts to determine the best way to raise farm animals - a customer petition on change dot org collected more than 115-thousand signatures from people in all 50 states asking the chain to stop purchasing pork from suppliers using gestation crates. Feedstuffs reports that a long-time Domino’s customer from Texas decided to launch the petition campaign after seeing undercover video footage of gestation crates from the Humane Society of the United States. While positioned as a meat eater and non-animal rights activist in the online petition - Feedstuffs writes that online searches show the customer is an HSUS supporter.
