Stop Petco Chick Sales

Petition started by Humane Long Island

Just weeks before Easter, Petco began selling chicks at five suburban locations, including one on Long Island, contributing to the epidemic of fowl abandonment when cute, fuzzy Easter props are dumped to local parks when they’re too big for their Easter baskets!

What’s even worse is that Petco is sourcing the baby birds from Murray McMurray Hatchery, a factory farm that gasses thousands of male chicks annually simply because they can’t lay eggs and ships millions of day-old chicks without food and water via USPS every year! Read more of the petition…
