Whole Foods: Stop torturing hens!
Friends of DxE
Demand that Whole Foods CEO John Mackey stop sourcing eggs from farms that abuse birds!
Why is this important?
Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) recently investigated an American Humane Association (AHA) Certified egg farm in California that supplies eggs to Whole Foods. The investigators found hens living in filthy, crowded conditions. Many of the hens had bloody wounds and prolapses, a condition where, due to having laid so many eggs, a hen’s internal organs are pushed out of her body. Other hens had died, and their bodies were left to rot on the floor of the barns.
In the course of the investigation, DxE rescued a hen and named her Ava. Ava’s feet were severely injured and she was struggling to walk. With love and care at a sanctuary, Ava recovered and is able to walk again. Watch Ava's story at eggfarm360.com.
Whole Foods claims to care about animals, and they market their eggs as cage-free despite raising hens in sickening confinement. Sign the petition and ask Whole Foods to cut ties with all farms that abuse birds.
