TAKE ACTION TODAY: Comment on Tyson Foods’ latest Facebook post and urge the company to become a real food leader by ending crippling rapid growth and shifting to cruelty-free plant protein! Visit http://bit.ly/TysonComment and use our sample language below. This week, Tyson CEO Tom Hayes is in Davos, Switzerland, for the World Economic Forum, where he’s asserting that the poultry industry needs to “get ahead of the curve” in feeding the growing global population. He was previously quoted in a Chief Executive report as stating, “If we’re going to feed nine and a half billion people around the world by 2020, we have to be part of the solution.” Yet instead of driving innovation, Tyson remains entrenched in a tradition of torture to churn out cheap, cruelly produced meat. Compassion Over Killing’s recent investigation of a Tyson supplier revealed that birds suffer egregious abuse and are genetically manipulated to grow so unnaturally large, so quickly that their fragile legs often collapse under their morbidly obese bodies. Meanwhile, millions of consumers are flocking away from this cruelty and toward sustainable, healthier, and kinder plant-based proteins. It’s time for Tyson to really get ahead of the curve by ending rapid growth and shifting toward the future of food--plant protein! Comment on Tyson’s Facebook post at http://bit.ly/TysonComment TODAY using our sample text below or your own polite comment: Sample comment: If Tyson truly wants to “get ahead of the curve,” it must end crippling rapid growth of birds once and for all and continue shifting to the real future of food: plant protein! A recent Compassion Over Killing investigation revealed that Tyson breeds birds to grow so unnaturally large, so quickly that their fragile legs often collapse under their morbidly obese bodies--all so you can turn a profit. Animal agriculture is also polluting our planet and depleting resources, and according to the United Nations, a worldwide shift away from eating animal products is necessary to combat these impacts. I hope you will listen to the nearly a quarter million consumers who are urging you to end rapid growth and invest more heavily in cruelty-free, sustainable, healthier plant-based foods. Thank you.
