Today
Wakefern, the nation’s largest retailer-owned cooperative with 50 member
companies operating supermarkets under the ShopRite, Price Rite, and The Fresh
Grocer banners, pledged that 100 percent of eggs sold
in its stores would be cage-free by 2025. The move, which will spare countless hens from suffering in tiny wire cages, follows a campaign by
The Humane League and a shocking undercover investigation by
Mercy For Animals revealing
egregious animal abuse at a ShopRite egg supplier.

MFA’s
hidden-camera footage exposed thousands of birds packed so tightly
into filthy wire cages the birds were hardly able to move without crawling over
other birds. Severely sick and injured birds were left to slowly suffer and die
without proper veterinary care, and the bodies of dead animals were seen
rotting in cages with live birds still laying eggs for human consumption.

Wakefern’s
statement is the latest in a wave of cage-free egg commitments by major grocers,
including Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, and Safeway. Additionally, more than 100
other retailers, restaurants, foodservice companies, and food manufacturers
have pledged to go cage-free in the past year.

Unfortunately, Publix still refuses to ditch cruel cages. That’s why today we’re launching a campaign calling on Publix to join its competitors in adopting a 100 percent cage-free policy for all of its 1,100+ stores.

Why does Publix allow
its suppliers to confine hens in cages so small the birds can’t even spread
their wings when Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, and so many others do not?
Shoppers won’t support a company that supports animal abuse! Publix.HenHell.com
