Ryan Gosling pens letter to stop selling eggs from caged chickens

New York: Superstar Ryan Gosling has called upon the bosses at American wholesale store Costco to stop selling eggs from caged chickens. The 34-year-old penned a strongly worded letter to Craig Jelinek, CEO of the retail giant, after an undercover investigation by the Humane Society revealed extreme animal mistreatment at one of Costco’s major egg suppliers, reported the New York Post. The “Notebook” actor did little to hide his disgust, citing video footage of “rows upon rows of birds confined in filth-laden cages with the mummified corpses of their cage-mates – eating, sleeping, defecating, and laying eggs on top of dead birds.” Gosling went on to write about potentially misleading packaging from the nation’s fifth-largest retailer. “It is appalling that Costco has been selling these eggs with deceptive labeling on cartons featuring graphics of birds living out in a green pasture,” wrote Gosling. “You’ve already eliminated cages for veal calves and pigs – don’t you feel that chickens also deserve the same mercy?”
