Dear Supporter,

It has now been three years since Aldi added a sentence to its animal welfare policy that said: “We expect our suppliers to pursue the elimination of crates for pregnant sows in favor of group housing”.

But as we can sadly see, an “expectation” falls far short of a commitment and can go on forever.  Three years have passed and Aldi has no updates. No commitment. No response. No timeline. Makes us wonder how much Aldi really cared in the first place. 

Please help us get Aldi to commit to a timeline to end this inhumane and dated practice. Watch and share our new video.

Here are sample posts you can use for your social media:   

FACEBOOK: In 2019 @ALDI.USA said: “We expect our suppliers to pursue the elimination of crates for pregnant sows in favor of group housing”. Fast forward to 2022 and Aldi still has not made a commitment to end this inhumane and dated practice. Want to know more?  Then watch this new video from @CrateFreeUSA, and help get the fastest growing grocery chain in the U.S. to finally commit to no more crates.  #aldiusa #aldifinds #aldifavoritefinds #animalwelfare #crueltyfree #cratefreeusa  https://youtu.be/I81wDHsrRd0

TWITTER: In 2019 @AldiUSA said: “We expect our suppliers to pursue the elimination of crates for pregnant sows in favor of group housing”. Yet STILL no commitment to end this practice. Help get Aldi to commit to no more crates. #Aldifinds #cratefreeusa https://youtu.be/I81wDHsrRd0

INSTAGRAM: Unlike many other major food companies in the U.S., Aldi will not publicly commit to a timeline to phase out the use of gestation crates by its suppliers -- considered by many to be one of the cruelest practices in animal agriculture. Back in 2019 Aldi said: “We expect our suppliers to pursue the elimination of crates for pregnant sows in favor of group housing”. Unfortunately, an “expectation” is far from a commitment, and 3 years later Aldi still has no comments and no updates.  Watch this new video, and learn how you can help get Aldi to finally commit to no more crates.  #aldiusa #aldifinds #aldifavoritefinds #animalwelfare #crueltyfree #cratefreeusa #gestationcrates https://youtu.be/I81wDHsrRd0
