Wal-Mart Stores Inc said it was aiming to switch to a cage-free egg supply chain in the United States by 2025, joining a host of companies that have committed to stop using eggs laid by caged hens.
The United States' biggest food retailer said on Tuesday it would mandate its egg suppliers to be certified and compliant with United Egg Producers' animal husbandry guidelines or an equivalent standard. (bit.ly/1TAlbFR)
The decision comes at a time when the food industry is under pressure from groups including the Humane Society of the United States, Mercy for Animals and World Animal Protection, which have successfully lobbied many companies to adopt animal welfare practices.

I heard somewhere along the line that Hormel took an interest in the amount of suffering that the animals underwent in the obviously awful process of being turned into food. For that reason I prefer Hormel products all else being equal.
Most humans really don't want to see animals or other humans suffer more than is necessary. I would guess that straight-up 'market forces' would be much more effective at reducing unnesessary suffering than a bunch of fruitcakes running around trying to enforce their own spiritual dogma on everyone else.
