Join us in South Pasadena as part of a coordinated nationwide action against Trader Joe's and Perdue's Petaluma Poultry.
Trader Joe's continues to sale 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.
Direct Action Everywhere investigations 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 scalded while still conscious and boiled alive. These findings were reported to authorities and to Trader Joe's but they 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. Her trail starts May 16th.
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.
