Tyson Foods is now teaming up with tech accelerator Plug and Play to connect with startup companies around the world. TAKE ACTION TODAY: Tell the poultry giant’s new partner that consumers are flocking from cruelty with a quick call to 408-524-1400 using our sample script below!
More than a quarter million of you have signed our petition since our gut-wrenching investigation exposed egregious abuse and the devastating effects of rapid growth of birds in Tyson’s supply chain. In response, the poultry giant has taken some promising steps, including announcing its own upcoming plant-based meat, with CEO Noel White recently stating, "I think it certainly has the capability of being a $1 billion business for us."
Yet Tyson has still failed to address a major source of suffering in the hundreds of millions of birds it breeds every year: These birds have been genetically manipulated 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!
Now the nation’s biggest poultry company has joined forces with Plug and Play to connect startup companies into its supply chain in its hometown in Arkansas--and we need YOUR voices to make sure its new business partner is aware of the egregious cruelty hidden behind Tyson’s products!
Make a quick call to Plug and Play at 408-524-1400 using our sample script below (or your own polite message)! Then, let us know how your call went by emailing campaigns@cok.net. Thank you for your compassion!
SAMPLE SCRIPT: “Hi, my name is _____, and I am calling to express my concern about your new partnership with Tyson Foods. 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. Yet the poultry giant has refused to take responsibility for this abuse. Please use your influence to send a strong message to Tyson that cruelty in its supply chain won’t fly. Thank you.”
