http://video.animalequality.org:443/videos/watch/e3444fdc-e9b9-461e-9d0f-efbcd3a3f5a3 Aldi, a German-based international grocery chain, allows the cruelest factory farming practice in its US supply chain: confining animals in cages. Pregnant pigs are kept in enclosures, called gestation crates, so small they can’t even turn around. Hens live crammed inside battery cages with other birds, unable to spread their wings and forced to live on uncomfortable wire flooring. Life in a cage is a constant cycle of pain and suffering for these animals. While Aldi enforces progressive animal welfare standards in Germany, it fails to uphold those values in the U.S. Here, it continues sourcing from farms that rely on extreme confinement, despite growing opposition from the public and animal welfare experts. An increasing number of companies, including McDonald’s and Wendy’s, as well as Aldi’s competitors like Costco and Albertsons, are taking steps to eliminate cages—why won’t Aldi? Pigs and hens shouldn’t spend their entire lives suffering in cages for Aldi US. Learn more and take action at https://ae.onl/aldi-organicyt.
