Join us in the new opening of Trader Joe’s as part of a coordinated nationwide action against them and Perdue’s Petaluma Poultry.
Trader Joe’s continues to sell criminally abused chickens from Perdue’s Petaluma Poultry in their own packaging despite thousands of social media comments, emails, phone calls, letters, and store protests asking them to cut ties.
DxE investigations have revealed widespread cruelty, neglect, and disease at Perdue’s Petaluma Poultry facilities, including birds who are so sick and injured they are unable to walk to food or water, birds with open wounds, and birds who entered the slaughterhouse scalder while still conscious and were boiled alive. These findings have been reported to authorities and to Trader Joe’s but they have failed to take action to stop this abuse. Instead, investigator and animal rescuer Zoe Rosenberg is facing 5 years in prison for rescuing four chickens from Perdue’s Petaluma Poultry slaughterhouse.
During this protest, we will once again ask Trader Joe’s to do the right thing and drop Perdue's Petaluma Poultry as a supplier.
Meeting is planned at Soule Cafe 2549 Banks St., the block to the opposite side of the store.
Trader Joe’s has yet to announce when and what time the new store will be opening. I anticipate it will be August 16. But until there is a concrete time I’ll keep you updated.
Protest materials including signs and chants will be provided. All you need to bring is yourself.
Everyone is welcome! If you're nervous, you can come observe, film or hold a sign quietly.
