Urge Trader Joe's to switch egg dealers!

Jun 30, 2005 07:58

Dear *******,

While we applaud these decisions, we still have work to do:
Trader Joe's, a national grocery chain that competes with Whole
Foods and Wild Oats in the natural foods marketplace, has so far
refused to enact a similar policy and continues to sell eggs
from battery-caged hens. This is why we need your help. We're
relying on you to convince Trader Joe's to change its mind.
Please click here to urge Trader Joe's to discontinue selling
eggs from hens housed in inhumane battery cages:

1. Take Action
The conditions for caged hens are simply too cruel for any
humane person to support, or for any socially responsible
company to condone. Send your personal message to Trader Joe's
urging the company to follow the lead of Whole Foods and Wild
Oats and stop selling eggs from battery-caged hens. Trader Joe's
already sells some cage-free eggs and has a history of doing the
right thing when it comes to issues of animal welfare. Now is
the time for them to commit to selling only cage-free eggs. Send
your message today. Click here:

2. Tell Your Friends
We believe Trader Joe's will respond favorably to public
requests to improve the welfare of laying hens-but we need as
many people as possible to send the grocery chain a polite but
strong message. Click here to ask your friends to contact Trader
Joe's and urge the company to stop selling battery-caged eggs:

Egg-laying hens in battery cages are the most intensively
confined animal in the United States, each cage providing space
smaller than a sheet of paper per bird. The cages are so
restrictive that the birds cannot even stretch their wings, let
alone engage in other natural behaviors such as nesting,
foraging, perching, and dust bathing. Chickens are social,
intelligent birds, yet when confined in battery cages, these
animals suffer needlessly and immensely. You can stop it. Click

Thank you for taking action today and for all you do on behalf
of animals.

Sincerely,

President & CEO
The Humane Society of the United States
