Costco, Bill Gates & Africa: The Chicken Connection

What connects Costco and The Gates Foundation is their betrayal of what they
claim on behalf of animals, workers, and the environment.

Costco Sets Up Massive Chicken Slaughterhouse in the Midst of an Environmental
Crisis

Costco is opening a new slaughterhouse to house factory farm chickens to
keep the price of its $4.99 rotisserie chicken. According to Food & Water Watch,
the company beloved for workers' rights has started exploiting animals.

Costco has a new poultry slaughterhouse in Nebraska. The new factory will have
the capacity to slaughter 1.7 million chickens each week. This slaughterhouse
will receive chickens from across the Midwest, including Iowa. Read the article.

And while Bill Gates, in The Future of Food, wrote in 2013 that "There's plenty
of protein in plants, rice, maize, wheat and soy. The problem is that instead of
feeding these crops to people, we're feeding most of them to livestock" - though
he wrote that, it hasn't stopped The Gates Foundation for funding and promoting
chicken factory-farms in Africa.

Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) is spreading through the African continent like the
plague with more than 750 locations in sub-Saharan Africa alone.

What Can I Do?

Urge Costco and Bill Gates to invest in plant-based "chicken" and other
animal-free products. If they have any true sense of corporate responsibility
toward animals, human health, workers, and the environment, they will stop
building chicken slaughterhouses and invest in plant-powered food for the
people.
