[/color] [/color][/font] Dear Debbie, Is Ben & Jerry's serving up "Chocolate Chip Cruelty Dough"? On its web site, the ice cream company known for its social conscience criticizes what it calls "giant, industrial farming operations," and it ends one of its commercials with the tag line, "Ben & Jerry's: Join our fight for small family farms." But this week, after nearly a year of promises to The Humane Society of the United States that it would phase out battery-cage eggs in its ice cream, [color=#990000][size=2]the company has done an about-face and chosen to continue to buy eggs—perhaps 20 to 30 million of them a year—from factory farms that confine egg-laying hens in tiny battery cages so small the birds can't even spread their wings.[/size][/color] You've taken action to help farm animals before (thank you!). Today, caged hens are counting on you again to show Ben & Jerry's that it should live up to its socially responsible reputation and lose the battery cage eggs in its ice cream. Tell Ben & Jerry's right now to stop supporting this cruelty! Please call Ben & Jerry's today at 802-846-1500 (between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. EST) and urge the company to keep its promises to stop supporting battery cage cruelty. Ben & Jerry's may tell you that its eggs are "[linkhttp://www.hsus.org/farm/resources/pubs/uep_certified_logo.html][color=#990000][size=2]UEP Certified[/link]," but this voluntary program does not prevent cruelty to egg-laying hens (see our talking points).[/size][/color] Once you've called, [color=#990000][size=2]please also email them. [/size][/color]Thank you for taking action for the animals!
