One of those goals, according to a statement McDonald&rsquo;s released on Monday, is to &ldquo;require chickens to be raised in housing environments that promote natural behaviors such as pecking, perching and dust-bathing on or before 2024.&rdquo;

The article adds,&nbsp;&quot;McDonald&rsquo;s works with multiple chicken broiler suppliers such as Tyson Foods, Keystone and Cargill. Since 2016, U.S. McDonald&rsquo;s restaurants have phased outsourcing chickens treated with antibiotics important to human medicine. Starting this year, McDonald&rsquo;s will move to start globally eliminating chicken treated with antibiotics defined as high priority by the World Health Organization. The global goal for eliminating this supply is 2027.&quot;
