Hens in cages
Ruby Tuesday's brutal betrayal

Ruby Tuesday has betrayed your trust.

Consumers have spoken loud and clear: Cages are cruel, and hens deserve better. At first, Ruby Tuesday seemed willing to listen, becoming one of many food companies to announce their transition to 100% cage-free eggs back in 2016. They even reported some progress toward their goal.

Then, without warning…they fell silent. And worse, they completely removed their cage-free commitment from their website.

Use our form to send an email blast to the leadership of Ruby Tuesday and their parent company, NRD Capital, and tell them they can’t break their promises to animals and consumers.

Act now

At a time when we’re learning new ways that cages are even more horrifying than we thought and consumers care more about how animals are treated than ever before, Ruby Tuesday has chosen cruel factory farming over doing what’s right. They’ve chosen a system that crams hens into tiny battery cages where they can’t even stand up, turn around, or flap their wings. They’ve chosen profits over principles.

And unlike their direct competitors like TGI Fridays—a company that has reported significant progress towards its 100% cage-free commitment—Ruby Tuesday has chosen to break their own promises to their customers. If their competitors can follow through, Ruby Tuesday can, too.

We’ve kept things low-key until now, asking you to politely contact individual members of the company’s leadership team and voice your concerns. In return, they stuck their fingers in their ears and ignored us completely. So now, it’s time to turn up the heat.

Use our quick and easy form to send an email blast to key members of Ruby Tuesday’s leadership, as well as their parent company, NRD Capital. It’s time that Ruby Tuesday starts taking their commitments seriously—not just to their customers, but to each and every hen suffering on a factory farm.

I was informed by Compassion in World Farming USA and their 2019 EggTrack report that Ruby Tuesday is no longer making its cage-free egg commitment or progress publicly available. As a concerned consumer, I feel it is critical that companies transparently report progress on animal welfare commitments so that we can achieve a cage-free future on or ahead of schedule.

Cage confinement of hens is cruel and often leads to extreme suffering, as birds aren’t given the space to move freely or flap their wings. A recent study from the University of Queensland also found that this forced inactivity is causing high rates of fatty liver disease in hens, which can lead to excruciating pain or even death. This is unacceptable, and these cruel cages have no place in our food system.

Consumers overwhelmingly support the transition to a 100% cage-free egg supply, and animal welfare consistently ranks as one of the issues the public cares about most. That’s why I was shocked to see Ruby Tuesday betray the trust of their own customers by backsliding on animal welfare and transparency—and NRD Capital, a firm that has invested in the success of Ruby Tuesday, allow a company under their umbrella to make a move that’s bad for animals, bad for consumers, and bad for business.

Is Ruby Tuesday still 100% cage-free on shell eggs, as the company reported in 2018? And what is your progress against liquid and ingredient eggs? I respectfully ask that Ruby Tuesday updates its status against its commitment to go 100% cage-free by 2025 as a publicly available resource, and continue to update annually.
