Target: Mick Beekhuizen, President and CEO, Campbell Soup Company
Goal: Ensure Campbell Soup Company adheres to the Better Chicken Commitment to end the suffering of chickens in their supply chain.
Recent claims regarding Campbell’s products reveal alarming issues surrounding transparency and ethical practices within the company. Allegations suggest a significant rollback to the Better Chicken Commitment, which aims to alleviate the extensive suffering faced by chickens raised for meat. Without proper scrutiny and accountability, the welfare of these animals remains at risk, perpetuating a cycle of cruelty that is unacceptable to today’s consumer standards.
Moreover, it has been reported that the company is not openly sharing its progress regarding animal welfare initiatives, further obscuring the conditions under which chickens are raised in their supply chain. The lack of a clear and comprehensive roadmap toward fulfilling the original Better Chicken Commitment raises serious concerns about the treatment of these animals. Consumers who prioritize ethical sourcing deserve to know how their food is produced and whether the companies they support are genuinely upholding humane standards.
It is imperative that Campbell Soup Company takes immediate corrective action to align with consumer values and ethical standards. The demand for transparency and the humane treatment of animals reflects a growing commitment to animal welfare in society. Therefore, this petition calls for Campbell’s to uphold the original Better Chicken Commitment and release a detailed plan to ensure the humane treatment of chickens throughout their supply chain.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear CEO Beekhuizen,
The alarming allegations regarding Campbell’s weakening adherence to the Better Chicken Commitment call for urgent attention and action. Reports indicate that the welfare of chickens raised for meat under Campbell’s supply chain is jeopardized due to a lack of transparency and commitment to ethical practices. Chickens endure extreme suffering in factory farm conditions, and it is essential that Campbell’s addresses these pressing issues to align with the values of ethically-minded consumers.
Furthermore, it has come to light that Campbell’s has not provided clear updates or a strategic roadmap towards fulfilling the Better Chicken Commitment. This lack of accountability not only allows for continued animal suffering but also puts the company’s reputation at risk, as consumers increasingly seek transparency and ethical sourcing in their food products. It is critical that Campbell’s demonstrates its commitment to animal welfare by publicly committing to the original standards of the Better Chicken Commitment.
We urge Campbell Soup Company to prioritize the ethical treatment of animals and take definitive steps toward fulfilling its commitment to animal welfare. Immediate action is necessary to ensure that the suffering of chickens is minimized and that consumers can confidently support your products, knowing that they align with humane practices.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
