EBAA to speak out against Foster Farms at 3 Bay Area Costco stores tomorrow

[Guest guest]

EBAA Declares April 29 a Day of Action Against Foster Farms

 

Each week Foster Farms, California & rsquo;s largest poultry producer, slaughters

five million chickens for food. Although Foster Farms claims to be committed to

animal welfare, a recent investigation (www.fosterfacts.net) by East Bay Animal

Advocates (EBAA) reveals that the company violates animal cruelty laws, is

engaged in unfair labor practices and misleads the public.

 

In an effort to raise the public & rsquo;s awareness about Foster Farms & rsquo;

role in the inhumane treatment of chickens, EBAA is leading a campaign on

Saturday, April 29. Members of EBAA will help & ldquo;foster compassion & rdquo;

by distributing informative literature about Foster Farms to shoppers outside

Costco locations and times below:

 

11 AM - Noon

4801 Central Avenue

Richmond

 

12:30 - 1:30 PM

1900 Davis Street

San Leandro

 

2:00 & ndash; 3:00 PM

22330 Hathaway Avenue

Hayward

 

Investigations carried out by EBAA contradict these claims and reveal that the

actual conditions at Foster Farms include inadequate veterinary care, high

on-farm stocking density and unsanitary living quarters. Costco Wholesale

Corporation is the largest membership warehouse club chain in the world and

remains one of the top retailers of Foster Farms products.
