Bill Maher Takes On IHOP

This week, comedian Bill Maher appears in a Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) public service announcement criticizing the International House of Pancakes (IHOP) for using egg suppliers that confine hens to battery cages. Maher urges IHOP to switch to cage-free egg suppliers and points to other major restaurant chains that have done so, including Denny’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s. In October, HSUS filed suit against IHOP, accusing the pancake chain of lying to consumers about using “cruelty-free” eggs. With the lawsuit, HSUS also launched a campaign urging IHOP to switch over to cage-free eggs.
