Dollar General Asked To Stop Promoting Animal Flesh, Provide Vegan Options

Dollar General has better prices than most chains in the US. Because of that, it is flourishing while
other stores, faced with the US Govt's diversion
of US monies to bombs and missiles, are not.

A respectful request that the corporation
1. stop
promoting toxic mammal flesh on their website
http://www.pcrm.org
2.
as they are a big promoter of Pepsi, they use their
influence to ask
that company which is linked so heavily to Yum
Foods, the world's largest restaurant conglomerate,
to faciliate KFC America's agreement (as KFC Canada has already done) to comply with
humane requests. http://www.kfccruelty.com

3. that DG include among their many brands
vegan cookies... board members have been linked
to Nabisco and Quaker whose cookies contain
toxic eggs, whey, and milk products.

4. that individual store managers be instructed
that animal rights activists have a free speech
right to request vegan alternatives
