                        Costco and its chicken suppliers must be 
investigated.

                        Costco is one of the largest membership-based 
grocers and retail stores in the U.S. — and even the world. One of Costco's 
biggest claims to fame is its low-price meats sold at its many 
warehouse-esque stores. That includes cheap hot dogs as well as whole 
rotisserie chicken meals sold for just $4.99 a piece. But this low price 
comes with a cost of its own: the mistreatment of animals. Undercover 
footage by the organization Mercy for Animals reveals the agonizing 
conditions these birds endure. And sadly, millions of birds are going 
through this: just last year alone, Costco sold approximately 106 million 
rotisserie chickens in its stores.



                        Farmers intentionally push chickens to become so 
large so quickly, that it's impossible for the animals to stand on their own 
two legs, causing them to collapse. That leaves the immobilized animals to 
painfully starve to death, lying on floors filled with feces, and developing 
bloody open wounds from being unable to move or turn. Now Costco is facing 
lawsuits claiming it "illegally neglects and abandons its chickens." The new 
lawsuit also alleges that Costco's top executives "caused, [are] aware of, 
and consciously disregarded clear signs of Costco's ongoing mistreatment of 
chickens." Now that we have evidence that Costco is acting inhumanely 
towards animals, the U.S. government must act. Sign the petition to demand 
that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration investigate Costco and its 
chicken suppliers, and hold them accountable!

                        P.S. Selling a formerly-living being at such a low 
price means cutting costs and corners somewhere. Sign the petition now.
