DESCRIPTION:In recognition of International Parrot Crisis Awareness Day we are asking 
 Petco to stop selling animals entirely, including parrots. In their natural 
 habitats parrots live in large communities and enjoy full, rich lives. In 
 captivity parrots, like other animals, suffer immensely. Those sold in 
 stores like Petco are bred in horrifically cruel breeding mills and even 
 kidnapped from the wild. Many suffer and die in these mills, in shipping, 
 in stores, and even after they have been purchased. Animals are not 
 commodities and we must end the breeding and sale of animals for 
 profit.\n\nWhen: Sunday, March 8th at 1pm\n\nWhere: Meet outside of Daiso 
 at 7000 El Cerrito Plaza, El Cerrito\n\nAccessibility: There will be some 
 standing and walking. We’ll have a couple chairs on hand in case anyone 
 needs to sit\n\nIf you would like to learn more about this campaign and get 
 involved in the Bay Area to help end the retail sale of animals in pet 
 stores please sign up at dxe.io/adoptdontshop and take action at 
 dxe.io/actionsteps\n---\nDirect Action Everywhere (DxE) is a grassroots 
 network of animal rights activists. Through open rescue, demonstration, and 
 disruption, we help build a world where every animal is safe, happy and 
 free.\nDxE cultivates a welcoming and supportive community. We ask that all 
 those who attend our events (online and offline) respect our Code of 
 Conduct which can be reviewed at dxe.io/conduct.\nTo learn about our 
 vision, goals, strategy and more check out the San Francisco Bay Area 
 chapter Activist Handbook here: dxe.io/handbook\n
