Costco, Bill Gates and Africa: The Chicken Connection
A Meat and Dairy Industries Article from All-Creatures.org

FROM UPC United Poultry Concerns
November 2019

Urge Costco and Bill Gates to invest in plant-based “chicken” and other animal-free products. If they have any true sense of corporate responsibility toward animals, human health, workers, and the environment, they will stop building chicken slaughterhouses and invest in plant-powered food for the people.

Costco Sets Up Massive Chicken Slaughterhouse in the Midst of an Environmental Crisis...

Costco is opening a new slaughterhouse to house factory farm chickens to keep the price of its $4.99 rotisserie chicken. According to Food & Water Watch, the company beloved for workers’ rights has started exploiting animals.

Costco has a new poultry slaughterhouse in Nebraska. The new factory will have the capacity to slaughter 1.7 million chickens each week. This slaughterhouse will receive chickens from across the Midwest, including Iowa. Read from OneGreenPlanet.org: Costco Sets Up Massive Chicken Slaughterhouse in the Midst of an Environmental Crisis

And while Bill Gates, in The Future of Food, wrote in 2013 that “There’s plenty of protein in plants, rice, maize, wheat and soy. The problem is that instead of feeding these crops to people, we’re feeding most of them to livestock” – though he wrote that, it hasn’t stopped The Gates Foundation for funding and promoting chicken factory-farms in Africa.

See, for example:

Urge Bill and Melinda Gates NOT to Support KFC in Africa! Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) is spreading through the African continent like the plague with more than 750 locations in sub-Saharan Africa alone.

In 2014, United Poultry Concerns wrote to The Gates Foundation: UPC's Letter to the Gates Foundation Opposing Support for KFC

What Can I Do?

Urge Costco and Bill Gates to invest in plant-based “chicken” and other animal-free products. If they have any true sense of corporate responsibility toward animals, human health, workers, and the environment, they will stop building chicken slaughterhouses and invest in plant-powered food for the people.
