Week of Action at Andronico's (Palo Alto & Berkeley)

[Guest guest]

Most of ANDRONICO'S EGGS come from hens that are just as...

 

confined and deprived as veal calves

mutilated and mistreated as KFC chickens

sentient and feeling as our cats or dogs

 

-----------

This is a final invitation and reminder for the Week of Action at Andronico's,

an exciting

advocacy event that aims to put an end to this disturbing reality. RSVPs

appreciated but

not necessary.

The Week of Action is an effort to pressure Andronico's to go cage-free, to no

longer sell

any eggs from caged hens. The event will involve five back-to-back days of one

hour

demonstrations at the Stanford Shopping Center Andronico's and a similar series

at the

Berkeley Andronico's on Solano Avenue held by Christine Morrissey of East Bay

Animal

Advocates. The sessions will be low-key; we'll be holding signs, leafletting,

and talking to

customers. I've been in front of Andronico's a few times and the customers are

very

receptive and polite.

 

The event will NOT be a boycott – we will simply encourage customers to talk

directly to

store management about the issue and to abstain from buying the store's eggs.

Hopefully,

as a result of our work, Andronico's will be forced to go cage-free to maintain

its

customers' trust and its image as a socially responsible company.

This campaign stretches far beyond the thousands of hens that lay eggs for

Andronico's.

This campaign stands powerfully in opposition to the status of today's farm

animals as

mere economic machines that may be manipulated in any way to maximize efficiency

and

profit. This campaign asks people to consider animals for what they actually are

–

conscious individuals with basic needs and capacities.

 

Everyone is welcome, regardless of experience and background. Please pass the

world

along to anyone else you know who might be interested. If you have any

questions, don't

hesitate to ask.

 

See you there,

Ben Davidow
