Tens gathered at an Oakland Trader Joe's recently to mourn the death of the chickens in the fridge, which just so happened to be going for some of the best prices around.
Direct Action Everywhere, the organization that put on the funeral wrote this beautiful eulogy on Instagram:
A funeral was held inside of a Trader Joe's in Oakland, CA to honor chickens who were abused and killed by Perdue's Petaluma Poultry, a cruel company that supplies chicken bodies to Trader Joe's. Thousands of people have asked Trader Joe's to cut ties with Petaluma Poultry, including Paris Hilton, but so far Trader Joe's has refused. They won't even engage in dialogue with animal cruelty investigators.
The chickens are survived by thousands of relatives, which are currently in line to be slaughtered.
I'm not crying because the chicken slaughter, I'm crying because the wings I made for lunch are gone and I should've ordered six more but I wasn't thinking ahead.
