Billionaire investor and activist Carl Icahn blasted McDonald's for continuing its use of cruel gestation grates for pregnant pigs, despite previous promises to phase them out by 2022. Icahn, 86, penned an eight-page to McDonald's shareholders, which he released on Thursday, claiming fast-food giant failed to follow through on a ten-year old commitment to end the use of the crates, which keep pregnant pigs in cramped spaces.The company first agreed to do away with the practice back in 2012 amidst widespread criticism over the use of such inhumane devices. But Icahn - a shareholder - says the firm has fallen short, and now hopes to embarrass it into action.
