Santo Domingo.- A group of social organizations yesterday announced support for the boycott on chicken meat Tuesday , to pressure producers and intermediaries to slash poultry prices.

The groups also call on consumers to boycott the meat in every remaining Tuesday in July, noting that it should be sold at no more than RD $39 per pound.

Organizations spokesmen Roberto Abreu and Joaquin Luciano asked the government to intervene to protect consumers, to put a stop to what they view as speculation by vendors without control over the meat which Dominicans consume most.

The organizers also rebuked the Poultry Commission’s lobbying in the Chamber of Deputies, noting that it’s an issue which the Consumer Protection Agency should resolve. "Pro-Consumidor has done an excellent job on fixing its position as to what chicken’s price per pound should be."

The USURY CRIMINAL interest Rates do more to HARM to the Country’s Poor and Middle Class (as if there was a difference in METROLANDIA) than the spike in chicken prices, whether justified or not............. but "Pro" Consumer has their Tongues in their RECTUM when it comes to the Stifling of ECONIMIC Development by outrageously abusive practices of the Dominican Banking Monopoly!

Pardon the PUN this is Chicken Shit Outrage to divert attention from the Thievery of the Government and there Criminal allies in the Banking Sector!
