Giant secrets. Giant mistake.

Here’s a puzzling scenario.

A grocery chain—let’s call them Giant Eagle—makes a public commitment to stop sourcing eggs from caged hens. It’s a big deal, and the company shares compelling reasons for making this change… like its reputation as a high-quality grocer. Or its dedication to addressing its customers’ concerns.

Giant Eagle says it’s working toward its goal to source only cage-free eggs by 2025.

But how?

The company has yet to share its plan for reaching its cage-free milestone. If Giant Eagle was actively engaged in making this significant change, wouldn’t you think it’d want its customers to know how it’ll reach its goal?

And if not: what is Giant Eagle hiding?

Is it row after row of hens stacked in cages so small, they can’t even move?

What's the "Giant Eagle advantage" to this?

Giant Eagle positions itself as a high-quality “neighborhood” grocery store with a slogan, “that’s the Giant Eagle advantage!” But there’s no advantage to making a pledge to do better for animals without sharing a plan for how that’ll happen.

On the other hand, following through on ending cages would give Giant Eagle an advantage over its competitors. Giant Eagle has an opportunity to set an industry standard that could compel competing grocery chains to follow suit in making meaningful change. That shift has the potential to free millions of hens from a lifetime of abuse.

But until Giant Eagle shares a clear, measurable plan for how it will eliminate cruelty in its operations, hens could continue to pay the ultimate price. And we cannot let that happen.

I’m calling on Giant Eagle to publicly share its plan for ending animal suffering in its supply chain. And I’m letting them know there’s no advantage to cruelty. Will you take action with me? [[link removed]]

For millions of hens who deserve better, thank you for making a difference.

For the animals,
