SUSSEX COUNTY, Del. – Direct Action Everywhere (DxE), a California-based animal rights organization, will hold a multi-day protest and vigil in Salisbury from Tuesday, March 18 to Saturday, March 22. The group, led by Cassie King, is calling for the end of animal agriculture and its transition away from exploiting animals for food and products. They also demand that Perdue’s CEO, Kevin McAdams, close down the company’s subsidiary, Petaluma Poultry. The protest comes in the wake of concerns that animal agriculture, which is vital to Delmarva’s economy, is inherently cruel. While Perdue argues that its practices prioritize animal welfare, activists criticize the industry for its negative impacts on both animals and workers. Protestors will be outside of Perdue’s headquarters, with a prop of McAdam’s head, and conclude the event with a vigil for the animals. Local law enforcement is aware of the ongoing protest.
