Stop selling chicks and ducks in stores


Stop selling chicks and ducks in stores
The Issue
Every year Tractor Supply Co sells baby chickens and ducks during the spring season. These animals are displayed in the store for anyone to purchase. The only restriction is that one must be 18 or older and they must purchase 3 at a time. These birds are sold unsexed so when people buy them, they frequently encounter problems such as unwanted breeding and aggressive mating behaviors. Unfortunately, these animals are often purchased by inexperienced and uninformed people who are unable to care for them. Farms and other animal sanctuaries report a massive influx of chicks and ducks during the spring after being purchased at stores like Tractor supply. This store makes it too simple for anyone to buy these animals, and this is harming the animals. Tractor Supply's irresponsible practice of selling live animals in stores must be stopped.
