Walmart CEO Mike Duke is celebrating a birthday on December 7, and
national animal rights nonprofit Mercy For Animals has given him a gift:
a mother pig named Julia, who was rescued from a factory farm just like
those that supply cheap pork to Walmart stores.
MFA has sponsored Julia, who is now safe at a New York sanctuary for
farmed animals, in Mike Duke's name. MFA has been leading a campaign
against the retail giant following undercover investigations into
different Walmart suppliers that revealed cruelty to pigs.
The group also plans to protest Duke's appearance at the Council on
Foreign Relations meeting December 11 outside the Harold Pratt House at
58 E. 68th Street, with a 10-foot-tall inflatable pig locked in a narrow
gestation crate and a mobile billboard circling the building.
