Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 PLEASE ASK WAL-MART TO STOP SELLING DUCK MEAT **Please cross post** Animal Friends, Wal-Mart SuperCenters currently sell duck meat from Maple Leaf Farms (MLF). Photos and details about MLF can be seen on our website at http://www.vivausa.org. We have e-mail addresses for a number of people who are in a position to make Wal-Mart stop. Please take a moment to e-mail, call or send a letter to Wal-Mart (see at the bottom). In the past, Wal-Mart has made decisions that they felt reflected the type of community they want to represent. Remind them that they can do it again! In Wal-Mart's response to consumers they are stating: " All of the poultry that we purchase is from United States Department of Agriculture-inspected and approved processing plants. We rely on the USDA to ensure that the products we purchase are manufactured safely and ethically. " However, they are failing to tell people that the USDA does not have any regulations on how these birds are raised or housed. In addition to this, our statistics on ducks being boiled alive comes from FSIS (Food Safety Inspection Service) a branch of the USDA. Please write to: H.
