It’s National Poultry Day: Let’s use our voices for birds! Join our nationwide call-in TODAY by calling Tyson Foods at 1-800-233-6332 and urging them to stop crippling rapid growth in chickens and pave the way for the future of food with plant protein! (See sample script below.) Since Compassion Over Killing’s gut-wrenching investigation exposed egregious abuse and the devastating effects of rapid growth of birds in Tyson’s supply chain, the poultry giant has taken some promising steps: increasing investment in cruelty-free plant protein maker Beyond Meat and creating its own line of plant-based bowls to launch soon. But Tyson has yet to address a major source of suffering in the hundreds of millions of birds they breed every year: These birds have been bred to grow so unnaturally large, so quickly that they can suffer heart attacks and their fragile legs often collapse under their own morbidly obese bodies -- all before they’re even 2 months old! Today, join us in a nationwide call-in urging Tyson Foods to become a true food leader by ending rapid growth and continuing to move toward the real future of food: vegan protein. Simply call 1-800-233-6332 and use our sample script below or your own polite message: SCRIPT: “Hi, my name is ____ and I’m calling as a concerned consumer to urge you to end crippling rapid growth in birds and transition to cruelty-free plant protein. A recent Compassion Over Killing investigation exposed horrific suffering due to Tyson’s breeding of birds to grow so unnaturally large, so quickly that their fragile legs often collapse under their own morbidly obese bodies. If we grew at that pace, we’d weigh over 600 pounds before 2 months of age. Please end rapid growth--and truly shape the future of food by shifting to plant protein! Thank you.” Please email campaigns@cok.net with any response you get from the company, and don’t forget to keep sharing our petition (http://bit.ly/TysonExposedAgain) on social media. Thank you for speaking up for birds!
