Berkeley City Council: Give Consumers the Right to Know!

Direct Action Everywhere has investigated numerous supposedly "humane" farms supplying to Berkeley grocery stores like Whole Foods and documented filth, disease, extreme crowding, and cannibalism among the distressed animals. Consumers deserve to know that even "organic" dairy farms separate mothers and their babies immediately after birth, that "humane" egg farms can legally kill male chicks by throwing them into a grinding machine alive, and that behind the pretty images on the packaging, animals are being tortured for the products sold in Berkeley stores. We are calling upon the city of Berkeley to pass a first-of-its-kind consumer transparency law, requiring warning labels on all animal products sold in Berkeley.
