I hope you are having a wonderful week so far! Thanks to the hard work of several animal protection groups, Sonic Drive-in and Focus Brands (the parent company of Carvel, Cinnabon, Schlotzsky’s, Moe’s Southwest Grill, Auntie Anne’s, and McAlister’s Deli) recently committed to improving the lives of millions of chickens in their supply chains! Let’s use that momentum to turn up the heat on Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr this week by reaching out to a few groups that partner with CKE, advising them to end their contracts with CKE for supporting animal abuse. 1) Post on the Ozark Empire Fairground's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ozarkempirefairgrounds Use one of the examples below or write your own and comment on their latest post. Option #1: Ozark Empire Fairgrounds, did you know that chickens farmed for Hardee's are crammed by the thousands in filthy, windowless sheds, are selectively bred to grow unnaturally large, and are violently slaughtered? Please take a stand against this animal abuse and end your contract with Hardee’s. https://youtu.be/gpovs04w-6Q Option #2: It’s upsetting to learn that the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds, is sponsored by Hardee's, a company that supports needless animal suffering. Please consider ending your partnership with Hardee's until it adopts the same chicken welfare standards as its competitors, Sonic, Burger King and Subway. http://www.alternet.org/food/millennials-are-speaking-out-against-hardees-and-carls-jr-supporting-torture-chickens-video 2) Tweet at UCLA, asking the university to end its contract with Carl’s Jr. Option #1: https://ctt.ec/3j8fu Option #2: https://ctt.ec/5bQra 3) Post on Hardee’s Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Hardees/ Use one of the examples below or write your own and comment on their latest post. Option #1: I just heard that Sonic Drive-in committed to addressing the egregious suffering of chickens in its supply chain. When will Hardee’s be releasing the same chicken welfare policy? Option #2: Chickens raised for Hardee’s new chicken sandwiches are crammed by the thousands in filthy, windowless sheds, are selectively bred to grow so large so fast that many are crippled by the weight of their own bodies and are violently slaughtered. Hardee’s customers deserve to know the TRUTH! https://youtu.be/gpovs04w-6Q Thank you SO much for your continued support! -The Humane League
