Adopt a Cruelty-Free Diet

Hens are not the only animals that suffer miserably on factory farms. Pigs, cows, turkeys, and other farmed animals are victims of a system in which living, sentient animals are regarded as mere commodities to be exploited for every last cent. Adopting a vegan diet, one free of animal products, is the single most important thing you can do to promote kindness and compassion toward all animals.

Change the Law

Currently, hens on factory farms have virtually no legal protection from even the worst abuses. Our government needs to stop ignoring the plight of egg-laying hens and follow the lead of Germany, the Netherlands, and the entire European Union, by banning conventional battery-cage systems. Write your elected representatives and urge them to support legislation to protect farmed animals. Click here to find your representatives.

Urge Kroger to Stop Misleading Consumers & Improve Conditions for Hens

Although Kroger’s own Policy on Business Ethics states that “customers deserve clear and accurate advertising that provides useful information to assist in the purchase decision,” it continues to ignore two Better Business Bureau rulings that declared the ACC logo appearing on its egg cartoons as “misleading.” Please write Kroger’s CEO and urge him to follow his own policy by ending the use of the deceptive ACC logo.

Also urge Kroger to become an industry leader on animal welfare issues by taking real steps to eliminate animal cruelty at its suppliers. Urge Kroger to implement to following changes:

Refuse to purchase eggs from suppliers who confine hens in battery cages,
Eliminate the barbaric practice of beak-trimming, which leads to both acute and chronic pain, &
Eliminate the cruel practice of “forced molting,” something fast food giants McDonald’s, Burger King, and Wendy’s as well as grocery chain Safeway have already done. Forced molting involves starving hens for up to 12 days to induce another laying cycle.

Please send polite letters to:

Mr. David B. Dillon, CEO
Kroger Corporation
1014 Vine Street
Cincinnati, Ohio 45202-1100
