RE: Organic Free Range Eggs
I was shopping at your store (add location here) and notice that
you do not sell organic free range eggs. I would like you to source
organic free range eggs for sale.
I noticed that Woolworths adhere to the animal welfare policy and
the 5 freedoms internationally accepted as the basis for the
ethical and humane treatment of animals.
These are:
* Freedom from fear and distress
* Freedom from hunger and thirst
* Freedom from discomfort
* Freedom from pain, injury and disease
* Freedom to express normal behavior
I would like to buy organic free-range eggs laid by hens that
roam freely outdoors in the day and snuggle up in their barn at
night.
If Woolworths can sell only organic free range eggs to South
Africans, why can't you as well?
I hope that you will do your best to accommodate me in this regard
and I look forward to buying organic free range eggs from your shop
during my next visit.
Kind regards,

Living in South Africa is dangerous - and it is your problem
As many South Africans know, living in South Africa is dangerous.
50 % of all woman will be raped in South Africa - shocking!
Is life not a full circle - have you not been taught "what comes around goes around"?
We are "raping" another woman, daily, continuously and in such a way that nature has created a way for her to become extinct. We are "raping" our hens, giving them the poorest quality of life in cages so that we can get cheap eggs. By this "economic raping" of caged chickens, nature has created avian bird flu ( click here to see scientific proof) and is desperately trying to eliminate chickens and forcing them to become extinct.
STOP THE "ECONOMIC RAPING" OF CHICKENS AND LIMIT AVIAN BIRD FLU IN SOUTH AFRICA
Stop buying caged hen eggs or battery hen eggs!
Buy organic or free range eggs.

Buy organic or free range eggs.
Buying battery or caged hen eggs are DEADLIER than AIDS
Click on this link - see how mothers in South Africa are buying eggs that might contain mutated avian bird flu and then feeding the eggs to their children.
Are you one of them?
Buy organic or free range eggs and avoid the risk...

Talk - "a - talk - a - day"
After viewing all these horrible video clips and hearing all the fact surrounding battery or caged hens and the egg industry, yo are probably asking yourself "What can I do?"
You can do a lot, in fact the future of the hens and egg industry in South Africa depends on YOU!
This is what you can do:
1. TALK about it
A "talk - a - day" is what is needed. What do you do every day? You get groceries. Have you asked the store manager for free range eggs, do they sell free range eggs, if they don't - please TALK about it to the store manager in a pleasant manner.
Not only will you make the store manager talk about it to the buyer but everyone who overhears the conversation will think about it. Have you asked the till check out cashier if they sell free range eggs? She might call her supervisor and ask her and she in return asks the next manager and so... the domino effect of saving hens starts...with YOU ( thank you!)
2. Coffee and breakfast with your friend / husband / wife at a restaurant
Another great opportunity to have your "talk-a-day". Weather having a breakfast or brunch or lunch or dinner at any restaurant, ask the waiter if he can ask the manager if they use free range eggs in their dishes. The waiter will start talking about it, the manager will talk about it to the person responsible for buying the eggs, the buyer will talk about it to the seller and might just source free range eggs in future.
We are planning to provide restaurants who use free range eggs in their dishes with a special "hen friendly" poster that they can display in the future. Consumers like you can choose to rather support those restaurants who support humane treatment of animals.
Again you have a fantastic opportunity to talk about this subject.
3. Barbecues with the family
Family and friends have to listen to you! :) Start with your own household and then spread the word to your immediate family and friends. Most family and friends are curious to know about this subject and once you tell them why they should support humane production of eggs and save the poor little hens, they will absolutely do it.
Again the domino effect! And it all starts with YOU! ( Thank you!)
