Museum trustee Katie Doyle has blood on her hands.
Wealthy corporate executive and Griffin trustee Katie Doyle is ignoring extreme animal cruelty happening under her watch. At her other company, supermarket conglomerate Ahold Delhaize, animals are suffering in cages. The Griffin must cut ties with such immoral leadership. Until then, we’ll be enjoying other Chicago attractions.

Would you keep an animal in a cage so small she can barely move her limbs – for years on end?
Of course you wouldn’t. But under Griffin trustee Katie Doyle’s watch, this cruel practice continues in Ahold Delhaize’s supply chain. The majority of eggs sold at Giant, Food Lion, Stop & Shop, and Hannaford come from hens crammed into tiny battery cages.
When you go to the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry — or shop at Ahold Delhaize’s stores — you are supporting the career of a person who has climbed the corporate ladder by letting animals suffer.

Katie is profiting from horrific animal suffering. Meanwhile, Griffin MSI is standing by Katie and her tarnished reputation.
Despite efforts to reach the Griffin’s leadership and inform them of Katie’s immoral leadership at her other company, the museum has remained silent on the issue. This comes as no surprise given that Katie herself has also neglected to take a public stand against the caging of animals.
Meet Max: the Voice of Compassion
At the Griffin Museum, dogs were recently celebrated in an exhibit that captured their loyalty, intelligence, and connection to humanity. Yet, as Katie Doyle fails to address one of the worst forms of animal cruelty—battery cages—this compassion seems lost in practice.
Max, the sorrowful dog on our billboard circling the Chicago area, is here to remind us of a simple truth: all animals deserve kindness. Just as dogs like Max should be treated humanely, the hens in Ahold Delhaize’s supply chain deserve basic dignity—not confinement in tiny metal cages where they can’t spread their wings.
By keeping Katie Doyle on its board, the Griffin Museum risks standing with corporate negligence instead of humane values. Max’s message is clear: it’s time for the museum to align its leadership with its mission of inspiring and educating for a better world.
