As someone who works near Kroger's downtown headquarters, I have often encountered Animal Equality protestors throughout my workdays this summer. And I agree with them. Kroger made a promise to go cage-free for their chickens in 2025, likely profiting from the related positive press. Kroger should honor that promise.
Increasing chickens’ quality of life is not only the ethical move, but also the pragmatic one: improved treatment results in improved egg products. And as a multibillion-dollar company with a couple thousand stores across 35 states, Kroger can afford to spend a little extra money to treat their chickens better.
