Activists to Protest Marin Grocer United Markets Over Sale of Chickens from Perdue Factory

WHEN: Sunday, May 17th at 3:30pm 

WHERE: United Markets, 100 Red Hill Ave, San Anselmo, CA 94960

San Anselmo, CA -- This Sunday, May 17th, following the victory of the Good Earth Natural Foods grocery chain dropping Petaluma Poultry, members of the animal rights network Direct Action Everywhere (DxE) will protest at United Markets in San Anselmo urging the grocer to stop selling chickens from Petaluma Poultry. Petaluma Poultry is a subsidiary of national poultry giant Perdue Foods. It sells chickens under the brand names “Rocky” and “Rosie.” 

DxE activists have emailed and hand-delivered letters to United Markets urging them to drop Petaluma Poultry, but the company has not responded. On Sunday, activists will protest inside United Markets, in front of the chicken bodies, and then continue the protest outside the store. 

The protest will feature: 

• A protester dressed in a chicken suit

• A large, attention-grabbing banner

• Images of the animal cruelty that takes place at Petaluma Poultry

Protesters will do speak-outs to share their experiences investigating Petaluma Poultry and perspectives on the issue. Activists will also distribute information to passersby about the conditions at Petaluma Poultry to bring awareness to the suffering of baby chickens who are sold at United Markets and urge people to learn more at
