Target: Nicholas Tsouflidis, President of Cora
Goal: Hold Cora accountable for abandoning their cage-free commitments and restore humane treatment for hens by enforcing a swift transition to a 100% cage-free standard.
Millions of hens are suffering in extreme confinement under the Canadian egg industry, where 80% are kept in battery cages that deprive them of basic freedoms. The public outcry against such inhumane conditions has led many companies to advocate for cage-free systems. However, prominent breakfast chain Cora has seemingly turned its back on its public commitments made back in 2016 to eliminate battery cage use by 2025. Instead, the chain is extending its deadlines and weakening its stances on animal welfare, resulting in prolonged suffering for millions of hens.
Cora has altered its original pledge, pushing its commitment deadline to 2029 and introducing the notion of “enriched cages” instead of fully transitioning to cage-free systems. This change in stance undermines public trust and perpetuates cruelty, as enriched cages provide only minimal improvement in welfare and deny hens critical space and freedom. Immediate actions are needed to rectify this situation, urging the chain to fulfill its commitment to a humane and cage-free future without further delays.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear President Tsouflidis,
We are highly disturbed by Cora’s backtracking on its pledge to use only cage-free eggs by 2029. Over 80% of Canadians supporting the humane treatment of animals, and the evident failure of Cora to maintain transparency regarding cruelty-free commitments has left consumers in the dark. Such neglect suggests a troubling disregard for animal welfare that cannot be overlooked.
As advocates for animal rights and humane practices, we urge Cora to cease their delays and reaffirm their commitment to a 100% cage-free standard within a reasonable timeframe. The suffering of millions of hens is on the line, and the voices of compassionate consumers demand action for change that cannot be postponed any longer.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
