Animal Outlook
May 9, 2018 — TODAY: Tell Tyson Foods to stop cashing in on cruelty--and boost its bottom line with compassionate plant protein! Leave a polite comment for the poultry giant at http://bit.ly/ContactTyson (see our sample below). Millions of consumers are flocking from cruelty and toward kinder, more sustainable plant protein. And just this week, the nation’s largest poultry producer, Tyson Foods, reported earnings that fell short of analyst expectations. 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 upcoming line of plant-based bowls. In its recent sustainability report, the poultry producer explained, “Consumers are demanding more alternative proteins, making our decision to expand into non-meat products an easy one.” Tyson also claimed in that same report, “Quality care of the animals in our supply chain is a top priority to ensure we offer consumers the most humanely raised food possible” -- yet it has failed to address a major source of suffering in the hundreds of millions of birds it breeds 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 telling 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 submit the quick form at http://bit.ly/ContactTyson using our sample below or your own polite message: SAMPLE MESSAGE: “As a concerned consumer, I urge you to stop cashing in on cruelty: Please end crippling rapid growth in birds and transition to 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. Millions of consumers are flocking from this cruelty -- and toward kinder, sustainable plant protein. If Tyson truly wishes to shape the future of food, it would end crippling rapid growth once and for all--and continue shifting toward vegan 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!
