OFI is tied to animal cruelty
Amanda Sourry sits on the board of OFI and is deeply connected to animal cruelty—urge OFI to remove her from its board and take action against extreme animal abuse.
tell OFI: Amanda must go
OFI talks sustainability. So why the animal cruelty link?
Amanda Sourry helps oversee OFI, a global company that supplies ingredients for food and drinks.
She’s also held top roles at Unilever, a corporation linked to deforestation and child labor.
Now, another company under her watch has a scandal on their hands.
Amanda sits on Kroger’s board, where she earns more than $300,000 a year.
At Kroger, she’s directly responsible for the suffering of tens of millions of animals.
As the second largest grocer in the U.S., Kroger once promised to stop selling eggs from caged hens. For years, it reassured concerned consumers it was following through.
But with Amanda on the board, Kroger abandoned that promise—leaving millions of animals to pay the price.
What’s wrong with cages?
Hens in Kroger’s supply chain are confined to wire cages so small, they can’t even spread their wings. These so-called “battery cages” are already illegal in ten states.
Inside filthy barns packed with thousands of birds, hens in the egg industry breathe air thick with ammonia from their own waste. Injured, ill, and deprived of sunlight, many die slowly in their cages.
Those who survive are pushed to lay eggs until their bodies give out. Once they are no longer profitable, they are often sent to slaughter.
