Support Sustainable, Humane Chicken At Carleton


Support Sustainable, Humane Chicken At Carleton
The Issue
The majority of chicken at Carleton is sourced from Tyson Foods.
Tyson has long established itself as an exploitative corporation with unethical practices:
- Tyson was sued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for race bias, in part due to a "whites-only" bathroom sign.
- Tyson employees report being denied bathroom breaks.
- Undercover investigations document Tyson chickens being punched, kicked, and otherwise abused.
- Tyson is the second-largest polluter of US waterways.
These violations of humans, animals, and the environment should not be supported by purchasing Tyson products.
We, the undersigned, urge Bon Appetit to stop its implicit support of these practices and replace Tyson chicken in the dining halls with options that are sustainable and ethical.
