Billionaire Carl Icahn targets McDonald's over pig welfare
CNN
Legendary investor Carl Icahn is known for his aggressive campaigns to shake up Corporate America. Now, he's wielding his influence to tackle an issue close to his heart: the welfare of pigs.
McDonald's (MCD) said Sunday that Icahn had nominated two new directors to its board. The move "relates to a narrow issue regarding the company's pork commitment," the fast food chain said in a statement.
"I really do feel emotional about these animals and the unnecessary suffering you put them through," Icahn said in an interview with Bloomberg last week. "A pig has a good brain and it's a feeling animal."
