Costco is Hurting the Animals It
Sells as Meat. Demand Government Action
Now! | | |
Costco is
one of the largest membership-based grocers and retail
stores in the U.S. — and even the world. One of
Costco's biggest claims to fame is its low-price
meats sold at its many warehouse-esque stores.
That includes cheap hot dogs as well as whole rotisserie
chicken meals sold for just $4.99 a piece. But
this low price comes with a cost of its own: the
mistreatment of animals. Undercover footage by
the organization Mercy for Animals reveals the agonizing
conditions these birds endure. And sadly, millions of birds
are going through this: just last year alone, Costco
sold approximately 106 million rotisserie chickens in
its stores.
Farmers
intentionally push chickens to become so large so
quickly, that it's impossible for the animals to stand
on their own two legs, causing them to collapse. That
leaves the immobilized animals to painfully
starve to death, lying on floors filled with feces, and
developing bloody open wounds from being unable to move
or turn. Now Costco is facing lawsuits claiming
it "illegally neglects and abandons its chickens." The
new lawsuit also alleges that Costco's top executives
"caused, [are] aware of, and consciously disregarded
clear signs of Costco's ongoing mistreatment of
chickens." Now that we have evidence that Costco is
acting inhumanely towards animals, the U.S. government
must act. Sign the petition to
demand that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
investigate Costco and its chicken suppliers, and hold
them
accountable! | | |

P.S. Selling a
formerly-living being at such a low price means cutting
costs and corners somewhere. Sign the petition
now. |
