Ask Trader Joe's to stop selling eggs from caged hens

 

National grocery store chain Trader Joe's has thus far

refused to enact a policy to stop selling eggs from

hens confined in tiny wire coops called battery cages.

Egg-laying hens in battery cages are the most

intensively confined animal in the United States, each

cage providing less than a sheet of paper of space per

bird. Trader Joe's competitors, Whole Foods and Wild

Oats, have both agreed to stop selling eggs from

battery-caged hens.

 

Please take a moment to call the Trader Joe's customer

comment lines at 626-599-3817 (west coast) and

781-455-7319 (east coast) and ask the company to adopt

a policy to sell only cage-free eggs.

 

Also, if you shop at Trader Joe's, be sure to print

out and fill out our free " customer comment card " to

drop off at the store. Feedback from Trader Joe's

customers is vital to the success of this campaign.

Next, send your email message to Chairman and CEO Dan

Bane to urge Trader Joe's to follow the lead of Whole

Foods and Wild Oats and stop selling eggs from

battery-caged hens. Because Bane has chosen not to

accept emails from the public, The HSUSHSUSder Joe's

Team will ensure that your message will reach him.

 

The conditions for caged hens are simply too cruel for

any humane person to support, or for any socially

responsible company to condone. Trader Joe's already

sells some cage-free eggs and has a history of doing

the right thing when it comes to issues of animal

welfare. Now is the time for the company to commit to

selling only cage-free eggs.

 

Since we launched our campaign, Trader Joe's has

posted a statement in support of its battery-cage egg

policy. Click here to read our response.

Dear Mr. Bane,

 

As an animal supporter, I am writing today to urge you

to follow the lead of stores such as Whole Foods and

Wild Oats and stop selling eggs from battery-caged

hens. The conditions for caged hens are simply too

cruel for any humane person to support, or for any

socially responsible company such as Trader Joe's to

condone.
