Qdoba Mexican Eats: Stop Supporting Chicken Torture!
While the campaign for Wendy’s to commit publicly to improved broiler chicken welfare continues, another campaign needs your help. Unlike Chipotle, Panera Bread, Noodles & Company, and other restaurant chains, Qdoba Mexican Eats has also failed to pledge publicly to rid tortured chickens from its supply chain. Chickens.
Chickens used for meat are raised in near total darkness. Many birds are bred to grow so large, so fast, they are crippled by their own weight. The animals often suffer from constant leg pain so severe they can’t stand. As a result, they spend almost all their time sitting in their own waste. At slaughter, they are shackled upside down and shocked with electricity before their throats are cut open—all while fully conscious. Many are even scalded alive.
Despite this horrific cruelty, Qdoba Mexican Eats has failed to publish a meaningful chicken welfare policy. Please tell Qdoba president Keith Guilbault that you won’t support Qdoba while it serves up cruelty. Sign and share our petition to get the word out that consumers care about animal welfare.” (Change.org)
