Lots of times when a new baby comes into someone's life, any older siblings can tend to feel left out.

But in mom-to-be Molly Sims' case she's worried about her two dogs; she won't let her baby get between her and her two Yorkies, Chloe and Poupette.

McDonald's has just announced that it will now require its U.S. pork suppliers to have a plan to phase out the use of gestation crates.

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) has been pushing for the removal of gestation crates for a while now because they are used on pregnant pigs and it basically immobilizes them for their entire pregnancy.

The senior vice president of McDonald’s North America Supply Chain Management said:

"McDonald’s believes gestation stalls are not a sustainable production system for the future. There are alternatives that we think are better for the welfare of sows.

McDonald’s wants to see the end of sow confinement in gestation stalls in our supply chain. We are beginning an assessment with our U.S. suppliers to determine how to build on the work already underway to reach that goal.

In May, after receiving our suppliers’ plans, we’ll share results from the assessment and our next steps."

The HSUS, very happy with this decision, said:

"The HSUS has been a long-time advocate for ending the use of gestation crates, and McDonald’s announcement is important and promising.

All animals deserve humane treatment, including farm animals, and it’s just wrong to immobilize animals for their whole lives in crates barely larger than their bodies."

Even Dr. Temple Grandin, from the amazing movie Temple Grandin, is pleased with their decision. She said:

"Moving from gestation stalls to better alternatives will improve the welfare of sows and I’m pleased to see McDonald’s working with its suppliers toward that end.

It takes a thorough plan to address the training of animal handlers, proper feeding systems, and the significant financial investment and logistics involved with such a big change. I’m optimistic about this announcement."

Seems like everyone is really happy and in agreement for once.

Let's hope other fast food chains follow their lead.

Gestation crates are cages that pregnant pigs are locked in so that the pig cannot move around.

They are incredibly cruel and Smithfield Foods (a major pig meat user) had pledged to stop using them by 2017.

And now Hormel, makers of SPAM, have decided to join in by pledging to stop using gestation crates by 2017 as well.

In response, the Humane Society's president and CEO said:

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were spotted walking their cute doggy together.

They were strolling through Brentwood on what looked like a beautiful day.

Their dog looks really happy just to be hanging out with the family.

Ben is looking a little Russell Brand-ish and Jen is looking like she's about to pop.

One big happy family.

She maybe cold to co-stars, but January Jones is always kind to her dog!

Our favorite Mad Men ice queen was spotted walking her adorable dog and her pregnant body around her El Lay neighborhood Sunday.

Recently, January was outed for her cold on-set attitude. According to a CHILD co-star the soon-to-be-moma is as icy as her character, Betty Draper.

Well, perhaps January isn't the sweetest woman in the world — but she sure seems to give her pooch all the attention he needs!
