Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Winning Update on the Trader Joe's CampaignNational grocery chain Trader Joe's took a step towards compassionthis week, reducing their complicity in the cruel confinement of hensby a corporation Farm Sanctuary has targeted since 2005. Afterinvestigative footage obtained by Farm Sanctuary and the most recentundercover investigation by Mercy for Animals that exposed abhorrentand inexcusable cruelty administered by the egg farm Gemperle, TraderJoe's has finally decided to end the sale of eggs produced by thiscompany. The retailer had previously cut Gemperle as a supplier forits own brand of eggs, but continued to offer eggs produced byGemperle to its customers under other labels.While this is a victory against one of the worst producers inagriculture, millions of other hens still suffer in cramped, barrenwire battery cages, their conditions hidden behind closed doors. Now,we need to encourage Trader Joe's to take another, larger step forwardand live up to their public image of a hip, responsible retailer.Please thank Trader Joe's for their recent decision to end purchasesfrom Gemperle, and urge them to end all sales of eggs produced frombattery caged hens.http://action.farmsanctuary.org/site/R?i=1kFXn4txFTs5dwyxhDuATQ.. http://pets.Fortheanimals7/join http://www.myspace.com/fortheanimals7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
