Food Lion, please end lower standards for animals in Indonesia
Food Lion, please end lower standards for animals in Indonesia
Why this petition matters
Can you imagine the torture of spending your whole life in a crowded cage, in which you can barely stretch your arms or walk?
This is how the majority of hens are exploited for eggs in Indonesia.
Ahold Delhaize, the mother company of Food Lion, knows that battery cages are cruel and has announced a commitment to stop selling cage eggs in the US and Europe by 2025. But the company seems to think that animals deserve less respect in Indonesia. Ahold Delhaize refuses to give a deadline to end the confinement of hens that supply its SuperIndo stores in Indonesia.
Ahold Delhaize is one of the world’s biggest retailers, with around 6,500 stores in 11 countries. In Indonesia, the company has a joint venture called SuperIndo. Indonesia is the only country in Ahold Delhaize’s entire global operations that has not committed to a specific date to move away from cages for laying hens.
Please sign this petition to ask Ahold Delhaize to commit to a specific date to move away from cages for laying hens in Indonesia.
