This page is part of our public exclusion list — a transparency tool that shows which companies we screen out and why. It is not investment advice, and it is not an accusation. But it is subject to change as our understanding of the facts evolves.

Animal Exploitation
Since Oct 14, 2021

Dave & Buster’s Entertainment, Inc. operates a chain of 232 venues that combine dining and entertainment. Its core business model includes the commercial exploitation of animals through the sale of animal-derived food products. The company’s menu features meat, dairy, and egg-based items central to its food and beverage revenue stream.

The provided evidence from Cruelty Free Investors flags the company under a general animal exploitation category, but specific documentation of scale, sourcing practices, or incidents related to animal welfare is absent from the gathered materials. The available sources focus on securities litigation and regulatory disclosures, not on the company’s supply chain or animal product operations. Without material evidence detailing the nature or extent of animal exploitation, a substantiated narrative cannot be constructed. This record requires further investigation to establish a factual basis for exclusion.

Companies appear on our exclusion list based on our investment judgment — not because they've done anything illegal. This is a difference of values and opinion, not an accusation of wrongdoing. Exclusion does not constitute a recommendation against investing in any company, and absence from the list does not constitute a recommendation to invest.

This information is provided for educational and transparency purposes only and should not be relied upon as investment advice. Data is drawn from independent watchdogs, NGOs, government registries, and Ethical Capital's ongoing research — see Research Sources for the full list.
