"We endeavor to avoid
serving any 'crated' animal products at La Caravelle because we
are concerned for the humane treatment of animals. It has always
been my practice to serve only the finest products and utilize
what nature has provided us to faithfully maintain the integrity
of each and every ingredient. Consequently, neither I nor my team
would engage in incorporating 'lesser' goods on our menu. We actively
encourage our colleagues in the industry to shun the consumption
of “crated veal".

Statement of Brian
Chiandusse, General Manager IHOP
"I do not have final
say on what goes on the menu, but if veal was brought up as a
possible item on the new menu, or a daily special at any point
in time at our restaurant, I would advise IHOP Corp. and my employer
that he/she would have to choose between the General Manager or
having veal as a meal selection. I would refuse to continue to
be a part of a team that would go ahead and do something that
I am so strongly opposed to. We do offer many other meat products
on our menu, but the handling of these animals doesn't compare
to the cruel conditions in which all these poor veal calves are
raised. Animals that have been sentenced to serve as food for
humans should be treated humanely at the very least, even though
their lives will be unnecessarily cut short."
