CHICAGO: Take action to protect wildlife 🐦

Make sure your alderperson and other city officials support required bird- friendly building practices.

Chicagoans stood up against 's animal cruelty in support of 's campaign.

Investigators found nearly 10,000 birds crammed into tiny cages with roughly 1,400 dead birds recorded over 27 days, alongside reports of workers killing injured birds by hand - reportedly slamming birds onto the floor or ripping their heads off, in some cases.

An ex-customer of theirs reported to us today that 3 out of 4 birds her son bought from Petco died very shortly and decided to take her business elsewhere.
