A big thanks, and check out KGO at 6:30 tonight!

[Guest guest]

FROM: ERIN WILLIAMS, THE HSUS

 

Hi all,

 

I'm sure that you have seen today's announcement that Trader Joe's and

HSUS have reached an agreement regarding the eggs that Trader Joe's

sells. This is a huge victory for the animals, in effect freeing about

380,000 hens from the confines of abusive battery cages. We couldn't be

more thrilled about it here, and on behalf of HSUS, I'd like to thank

you for all of your tremendous activism on this issue.

 

As you know, there are a number of Trader Joe's in the Bay Area, and

there were a lot of you who were out there regularly, leafleting,

talking to managers, holding banners, and more. Especially since the

Bay Area is such a huge market for Trader Joe's, your efforts made a

HUGE difference.

 

For more information on the agreement, you can check out our home page

at www.hsus.org. We also understand that KGO-TV will be airing a

followup story tonight, scheduled for the 6:30 news on Channel 7.

 

Again - thank you so much, and stay tuned for the next phase of the No

Battery Cages campaign!

 

For the animals,

Erin
