About this event
End Corporate Greed. Demand Transparency. Empty Cruel Cages! ๐ ๐จ Attention North Carolina shoppers! Did you know that Food Lion is complicit in the abuse of millions of hens a year? The average egg sold by Food Lion comes from a hen who will spend almost all of her life crammed in a cage. She has painful open lesions all over her feet, caused by the sharp wire mesh floors. She can't even spread her wings. ๐จโ๐ผ Food Lion executives know this animal abuse is happening, and they promised to end cruel cages in their egg supply chains by 2025. Despite this, they have yet to make meaningful progress toward this commitment.
๐ฃ ๐ชง Join us at the Durham Food Lion (2930 W Main St. Durham, NC 27705) on Saturday, May 31st from 1-3pm to send a powerful message to greedy executives! By holding this massive company accountable to fulfilling their animal welfare policies, we can meaningfully reduce suffering now, challenge the status quo, and disrupt animal agriculture by costing the egg industry billions of dollars.๐ฐ
Join us afterwards for food at Pure Soul or Pure Vegan Cafe (tbd!)
