SIGN NOW: Tell the USDA to STOP supporting the ABUSIVE Big Meat and Dairy industry!

Factory farms are DANGEROUS for people, animals, and the environment!

Hens have their beaks CLIPPED, pigs are subjected to painful MUTILATION, mother cows trapped in an ENDLESS CYCLE OF IMPREGNATION are ripped away from their newborn calves — and male chicks can even be SHREDDED ALIVE!
Helpless animals are confined to tiny, crowded cages without sunlight or fresh air, producing unsanitary breeding grounds for diseases like bird flu.
People who work in these facilities are forced to endure dangerous working conditions and face increased risks of infection and injury.
Hazardous waste contaminates water, soil, and air that nearby communities rely on, while toxic emissions worsen the climate crisis.

But do you want the worst part? The USDA is using YOUR taxpayer dollars to FUND this dangerous and abusive system!

Now under Trump’s USDA, government support for factory farming is expected to increase — which could further incentivize greedy Big Meat and Dairy corporations to keep running their harmful operations.

We must fight back immediately, so we’re urgently counting on YOU to join us in the fight today. Help stop funding for abusive, polluting factory farming and stand up for people, animals, and the planet: TAKE ACTION NOW! >>

Dear USDA,

Factory farming poses risks to animals, our public health, and the environment.

Animals on factory farms are subjected to unnecessary suffering and are forced to live under inhumane and unsanitary conditions — which is not only cruel, but it also creates a breeding ground for diseases.     
 
In fact, industrial-scale factory farms produce as much as 1 billion tons of manure waste — three times as much as humans. And that waste ends up contaminating our water, food, and air.

Nearby residents are also at risk from factory farms. Research has linked related toxic air and water pollution to respiratory ailments, decreased quality of life, stress, and elevated blood pressure. This harms low-income communities and communities of color the most, since these massive facilities are disproportionately located near these communities.

To make matters worse, factory farming releases large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions, exacerbating the negative impacts of the climate crisis.

But the USDA continues to fund and support these mega meat corporations, so I am writing to you today to urge you to STOP the USDA’s support of the factory farming industry and prioritize public health.

Sincerely,
