Brad Pitt Urges Costco to Treat Chickens Better in New Letter

Brad Pitt and Ryan Gosling both criticized Costco Wholesale Corporation for caging its chickens.

“Imagine cramming five cats or dogs into tiny cages, hundreds of thousands in each shed, for their entire lives”, he said.

“In these cruel cages, the animals’ muscles and bones atrophy from years of immobilization”, Pitt explained. The same public release also added that sales of cage-free eggs – or organic eggs, have increased “more than twentyfold” over the course of the past nine years. “According to the industry itself, each hen in a battery cage is given less than 9 inches by 9 inches”, of space, he said.

“I join Ryan Gosling, Bill Maher, and countless others in urging Costco to sell exclusively cage-free eggs”, the actor thoughtfully detailed. Pitt encouraged Costco to follow the steps of Burger King and Unilever in freeing hens from cages.

The specific concern voiced by Pitt and Maher is Costco’s selling of eggs from caged hens. Pitt bring back memories Craig Jelinek within tim’s character in which mean issues them reside, telling you the birds’ muscle mass and dominos are very withered from numerous not being capable to push adequately. “Won’t you please extend that sensibility – and basic decency – to chickens?”, Brad continued.

“Brad is somebody who is passionate about promoting justice”.

Costco is being called out for selling eggs from chickens raised in cages, which activists argue is animal cruelty.

While Pitt chose to take his plight privately, however, left-wing comic Bill Maher tackled the issue by writing an op-ed for The New York Times.

Costco representatives also declared that the company does not approve animal cruelty, and its’ code of ethics is an important part of its mission as a company.

Sent Thursday, the letter was written on behalf of Farm Sanctuary, an organization aimed at rescuing and protecting abused farm animals. “Video footage revealed abhorrent cruelty including rows upon rows of birds confined in filth-laden cages with the mummified corpses of their cage-mates – eating, sleeping, defecating, and laying eggs on top of dead birds – and hens’ wings, legs, and necks trapped in the corroded wires of their battery cages”.

“We respect that many people prefer to buy and consume cage free eggs”.

In a June statement, Costco said the debate over caged hens is still unsettled.
