U.S Humane Society Targets Tim Hortons

Hi Everyone,

         My current place of employment subscribes to Macleans magazine. Macleans magazine is Canada's only national weekly current affairs magazine and is full of many interesting articles. As a university student, coffee has become a regular part of my school routine. I came across an article about Tim Hortons and found it interesting since, just like many Kwantlen students,  I am an avid purchaser of Tim Hortons products. Also blogger "100220470" might find this interesting since he/she is an animal lover.

The U.S Humane Society's newest target is Canada's Tim Hortons. The society is trying to pressure Tim Hortons into eliminating the use of pork products which come from crate-bred pigs. Burger King and MacDonald's have already made efforts to move away from the use of crate-bred pig products. This is an awkward issue for Tim Hortons since they are in the middle of a major U.S expansion. The expansion hasn't pushed through yet because the company has been without a permanent CEO since last May. The U.S Humane Society  can generate a large scope of bad publicity for Tim Hortons, which will be a major problem for Tim Hortons and their choice to establish a brand in the U.S.
