Sprouts: Stop calling animal exploitation humane!
Friends of DxE
Demand that Sprouts stop misleading their consumers about the cruelty behind cage-free eggs.
Why is this important?
Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) recently investigated a Certified Humane, cage-free egg farm in Colorado that supplies eggs to Sprouts. The investigators found mass starvation, with hundreds of hens dying every week simply because they could not access food. They also found intense crowding, disease, and cannibalism.
During the investigation, DxE found a hen on the brink of death, whose beak was sealed shut with feces. She had been eating feces off the floor because she couldn’t get to the food. Investigators rescued her, saved her life, and named her Annie.
Sprouts sells cage-free eggs at a premium because they tell their consumers they are more humane, but the conditions on their farms are anything but humane. Demand Sprouts stop promoting cage-free eggs and other lies about how animals are treated.
