ConAgra Foods Inc., one of the nation's largest packaged foods companies, said this week it is urging its poultry suppliers to consider slaughtering chickens in a way People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals calls more humane. However, a spokeswoman has said the company does not plan to force its suppliers to change slaughter methods. Shareholders previously rejected a PETA proposal to research whether it would be feasible to require the company's suppliers to switch to "controlled-atmosphere killing."

ConAgra Foods Inc., one of the nation’s largest packaged foods companies, said Monday it is urging its poultry suppliers to consider slaughtering chickens in a way the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals calls more humane.
The letter a ConAgra vice president sent to suppliers on June 29 doesn’t mention PETA, but it uses some of the same arguments the animal-rights group uses to lobby for using “controlled-atmosphere killing.”
