Poulehouse And Brand Station Petition Macron For A French Thanksgiving

Nov. 23, 2021

Every year 50 million chickens are killed at the age of 18 months simply because their egg production decreases, when they can in fact live up to 6 years and more on average.

Poulehouse is the only egg brand which doesn't kill chickens and is committed to feeding them, raising them, and looking after them until their natural death. Poulehouse is available in more than 3000 shops in France, among which Carrefour, Intermarche & Monoprix. 

Each year, during Thanksgiving, it is tradition for the US president to pardon a turkey. If Joe Biden can pardon a turkey, why not Emmanuel Macron? 

And since 50 million chickens are killed each year in France, at the age of 18 months, simply because their egg production decreases, wouldn't it be more important to pardon one of them? 

The French Thanksgiving 

Poulehouse is launching a viral and political campaign in which the egg brand is going to ask Emmanuel Macron to follow in the footsteps of his American counterpart and pardon a chicken for Thanksgiving.

 

Mr. Macron, 

If Joe Biden can pardon a turkey, surely you can pardon a chicken 

Greetings Mr. President,  

As you know, it is tradition for the US president to pardon a turkey on Thanksgiving. However, there is another gallinaceous bird that could really do with a pardon as well. 

Each year in France, 50 million chickens are killed at the age of 18 months because their egg production decreases, when, in fact, they can live up to 7 years on average. 

At Poulehouse, we take care of chickens and let them lay eggs and live in peace until their natural death. Which is why we are wondering if this year, you could follow in the footsteps of your American counterpart and pardon a chicken for Thanksgiving. If you don’t know which chicken to choose, we know just the one. Her name is Biscotte, she is very nice, and you can even keep her with you at the Elysee Palace. 

It would be a formidable – and truly meaningful – gesture for all the chickens. 

Best regards, Mr. President.
