Earls defends decision to purchase Certified Humane beef from U.S.
Earls Restaurant is defending its decision to purchase Certified Humane beef from the United States.
“If there had been enough beef in Canada, or in Alberta, to be able to supply our restaurants, we absolutely would have chosen them,” corporate communications manager Cate Simpson said Friday.
The Canadian chain was grilled by cattle farmers and customersafter announcing the change earlier this week.
#BoycottEarls trended for hours on social media Thursday.
