By RACHAEL PINO | Apr. 20, 2010Cindy Montalto, 55, sits on a bar stool at a counter covered with papers while Lacy, her collie, snoozes on the floor, not stressing as much as her owner.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
PETA employee thankful for editorial
By Drew Winter | Apr. 20, 2010Thank you, Editorial Board, for echoing the call for compassion on factory farms.

Battery cages will be illegal in the European Union starting in 2012, and the U.S. would do well to follow that example. However, sadly, this is not the only area where McDonald’s is falling behind the times on animal welfare standards.
