Alert: Help Reduce Animal Suffering by Shopping at Whole Foods Market This Tuesday
Whole Foods Market is in the process of creating the most stringent guidelines
for farmed animal welfare in the world. Developed with the help of several animal
protection organizations, including PETA, Animal Rights International, Viva
USA, and HSUS, these guidelines will not permit battery cages, veal or gestation
crates; will mandate outdoor access; and will address a number of other common
causes of animal suffering in the meat, egg, and dairy industries.
Whole Foods Market will donate 5 percent of its global sales this Tuesday,
January 25th, as seed money to establish its new Animal Compassion Foundation.
While COK promotes vegan eating, we also support any efforts to help reduce
animal suffering, which this clearly does.
