Amazon is holding its first ever re:MARS conference in Las Vegas, dedicated to high tech themes like AI and robotics. But company founder and CEO Jeff Bezos was interrupted during a talk on stage by a protestor with more basic concerns: the welfare of chickens.
Bezos was being interviewed during a keynote talk when the protestor walked quickly on stage, wearing what looked like a conference lanyard and holding a single white rose. The protestor said she had been inside “Amazon’s chicken farms,” and called on Bezos to stop the abuses of animals in these facilities.
“You’re the president of Amazon and you can help the animals,” said the protestor.
