Major Grocers Drop Culver Duck Farms Following PETA Exposé
PETA released a disturbing whistleblower report of suffering ducks at Culver Duck Farms, a so-called “humane” company in Indiana. The whistleblower’s video footage and photographs showed injured and dying ducks, others who were suffocated and buried alive, and dozens of ducklings who were ground up while fully conscious. After hearing from PETA, Southeastern Grocers (the parent company of Winn-Dixie) ended purchases from Culver and Albertsons Companies Inc., the second-largest supermarket chain in North America, suspended sourcing from Culver. This makes three major grocers to stop sourcing from the company after hearing from us, as a 2016 PETA investigation led Harris Teeter to stop. We continue to call on other grocers to end their relationship with the company.
