Dear John,
With each hour, every movement becomes more painful. Ross was bred to grow extremely large very quickly, and now he feels the consequences of this practice.
Moving freely has become impossible. Walking is a struggle. Sitting for long periods on soiled litter has caused him to lose feathers.
He is nearing the end of his 45-day life.
Ross and the chickens who surround him are gathered, crammed into crates, and loaded onto trucks bound for the slaughterhouse. |
|
From beginning to end, their lives are full of suffering.
Their deaths are grisly and terrifying. Most chickens like Ross are hung upside down while conscious, dragged through electrified water, and slashed at the throat.
Ross and all animals trapped in our food system are why we continue our crucial work. |
|
Alongside supporters like you, we fight to change the future for these animals. We continue to encourage major retailers to eliminate some of the worst abuses. This year alone, we played a key role in convincing Giant Eagle, Sprouts, Albertsons, and Kroger to take steps toward reducing suffering in their supply chains.
Can we count on you to give hope to animals like Ross with a tax-deductible donation? When you give today, your gift will be matched dollar for dollar. |

With gratitude,
|
Leah Garcés
