PETA Foundation has filed a lawsuit against PepsiCo for trying to block a shareholder resolution concerning animal treatment in its supply chains, specifically regarding the abuse of bulls in India. The resolution seeks a report on the treatment of these animals, which are forced to haul overloaded carts, often suffering severe injuries and handler abuse. PETA highlights that mechanized solutions like eco-tractors exist and improve efficiency, but PepsiCo has failed to address the documented cruelty despite being urged by over 50,000 supporters.
