Hello John,

Costco is selling cruelty in bulk—and itʹs making headlines.

In a New York Times exclusive, we discuss our most recent undercover investigation revealing the suffering of Costco chickens. 

Our hidden cameras caught hours of abuse to baby chicks and chickens.

Chicks just a few days old are poured from plastic containers onto the floor. Scattered throughout the barn, many chicks suffer from illness or die. 

As the surviving chicks grow, they endure even greater misery.

Many birds at these farms become almost featherless. Some flip onto their backs, beating their wings and kicking, in what looks like excruciating pain. Chickens who can barely walk tremble trying to fulfill their most basic needs, like eating and drinking. Many are too injured to move, and some even die of their injuries.

All they ever know is suffering.
