Prljavština, okrutnost i diskriminacija od strane Pita Pit-a

Šokantan pogled na lanac opskrbe jaja u Pita Pit restoranima

Jeste li ikada jeli u restoranima Pita Pit-a? Ako jeste, možda ćete poželjeti razmisliti ponovno. Šokantna istraga koju je objavio Equitas otkriva rizike po sigurnost hrane i ekstremnu okrutnost prema životinjama u lancu opskrbe Pita Pit restorana.
Na farmama kaveznog uzgoja, izmet i prljavština nakupljaju se na šipkama kaveza gdje se jaja polažu, a izmet se gomila samo nekoliko centimetara udaljeno od jaja i samih ptica. Majčinske kokoši su stisnute gotovo cijeli svoj život u kavezima za baterijski uzgoj, koji su tako mali i okrutni da su zabranjeni u desecima zemalja diljem svijeta.

Većina vodećih svjetskih prehrambenih tvrtki postavila je vremenski okvir za prijelaz na prodaju i korištenje samo jaja iz slobodnog uzgoja diljem svijeta, uključujući vodeće međunarodne lančeve restorana poput Shake Shack-a, KFC-a, Pizza Hut-a, Saladstop!, Costa Coffee-a, Burger King-a, Taco Bell-a, Tim Hortons-a, Arby’s-a, Papa John’s-a, Dunkin’-a, Benihana-e, Outback Steakhouse-a, Panda Express-a, Cinnabon-a, Baskin Robbins-a, Illy-ja, Krispy Kreme-a i Pret A Manger-a, ali ne i Pita Pit.

Vrijeme je da Pita Pit prestane podržavati ovu tešku okrutnost prema životinjama, diskriminirati svoje kupce i staviti svoje kupce u opasnost. Vrijeme je da Pita Pit sustigne druge vodeće restorane brze usluge i postavi vremenski okvir za prodaju samo jaja iz slobodnog uzgoja diljem svijeta.

Molimo potpišite peticiju!

Pita Pit: Pita Pit: Neću jesti u nijednom vašem restoranu dok ne sustignete druge vodeće prehrambene tvrtke i ne obećate prestati koristiti jaja iz prljavih i okrutnih baterijskih kaveza. Vrijeme je da Pita Pit postane 100% bez kaveznog uzgoja!

    Egg safety - Food safety risks

    Rizici prehrambene sigurnosti kaveznih jaja

    Više od desetak znanstvenih studija otkrilo je da farme s kaveznim jajima imaju dramatično veće stope kontaminacije salmonelom. Europska agencija za sigurnost hrane provela je najveću studiju ikad o tom problemu, analizirajući podatke s pet tisuća farmi. Utvrdila je da su farme s kaveznim jajima 25 puta vjerojatnije kontaminirane ključnim sojevima salmonela. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

    Postoji mnogo razloga zašto zbijanje kokoši u kaveze stvara rizike za prehrambenu sigurnost. Istraživanje američkog Ministarstva poljoprivrede pokazuje da stres zbog kaveznog uzgoja čini kokoši osjetljivijima na bolesti. Kavezi su također teški za čišćenje i dezinfekciju, što dovodi do “većeg volumena kontaminiranog fecesa i prašine”. (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

    Jaja iz kaveznog odgoja su okrutna

    Kao što su psi i mačke, i kokoši su pametni, inteligentni pojedinci koji osjećaju zadovoljstvo i bol. Stiskanje životinje gotovo cijeli njen život u kavez tako malen da se jedva može okrenuti jednostavno je pogrešno. (24)

    Baterijski kavezi su toliko okrutni da su zabranjeni u desecima zemalja diljem svijeta. Sve vodeće organizacije za zaštitu životinja diljem svijeta osuđuju baterijske kaveze kao okrutne i nehumane. (25, 26, 27)

    Evo što su neke od takvih organizacija izjavile:

    RSPCA

    “RSPCA poziva na zabranu svih sustava kaveza… i da se kokoši koje nose jaja drže u dobro upravljanim alternativnim sustavima.”

    Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

    WAP

    “Intenzivno zatvaranje na farmi životinja je barbarsko i neusklađeno s suvremenim vrijednostima.”

    American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

    World Animal Protection

    “Korištenje baterijskih kaveza za kokoši predstavlja neopravdanu patnju i kršenje osnovnih prava životinja.”

    Baterijski kavezi

    Pita Pit i dalje koristi jaja od dobavljača koji drže kokoši zatočene u okrutnim i prljavim baterijskim kavezima.

    U ovim dobavljačima jaja za Pita Pit, izmet prekriva opremu i razmazuje se po površinama.

    Okrutnost

    Svaka majka kokoš provodi gotovo cijeli svoj život stisnuta u kavezu tako malenom da se jedva može okrenuti.
