Dear
friends, |
|
Every
year 70 billion animals are raised
in gruesome factory farms -- pumped with
powerful antibiotics to keep them alive
and make them grow faster.
It's a horror
show for the environment and animal welfare --
but a paradise for pathogens to
mutate, multiply and jump to humans.
Already 700,000 people die from drug-resistant
infections every year, and scientists say it
could reach 10 million deaths a
year by 2050.
But we can help to
change that.
McDonald's is the world's
largest beef purchaser -- and it's deciding new
antibiotics policies right now. If we
push McDonald's to ban them, it could then shift
the whole industry towards more sustainable
farming.
Let's make it happen!
There's almost nothing McDonald's cares about
more than its public image -- so if
millions of us raise our voices, we could push
the meat giant to slash antibiotics and
help stop the next superbug pandemic.
Sign now and pass this on,
fast:

Factory
farms are all about producing tons of fast,
cheap meat -- but it means cattle are raised in
toxic conditions, which wouldn't be possible
without massive amounts of antibiotics. Already
over 70% of the global supply in
antibiotics is used on farm
animals!
The result is that
pathogens can become resistant to treatment,
creating vicious superbugs that are immune to
even our most powerful antibiotics. Millions
could die -- and that's exactly why scientists
and public health experts are raising the
alarm.
To protect
ourselves, we must not only reduce
meat consumption, we also have to drastically
cut the use of antibiotics on farms.
This could also force farmers to raise cattle in
better, healthier conditions. McDonald's is
considering its antibiotics policy for beef
right now, and if millions of us
speak up, we could inspire the giant to lead the
world.
It's worked before. After
massive public demand, McDonald's banned the use
of antibiotics for its chickens in 2016, setting
off a chain reaction throughout the industry.
Now let's do it again! Add your voice
and pass this on: |

The
Covid pandemic has shown again how
interconnected and fragile our societies really
are, creating a new appreciation for nature and
the ecosystems that support all life on earth.
The best time to prevent the next pandemic is
right now -- but this is also a golden
opportunity to continue our fight to reform food
production, animal welfare, and the rights of
factory farm workers. For the world we all dream
of, let's make it happen!
With fierce
hope and endless determination,
Mike,
Marie, Anneke, Marta, Spyro, Luis, and the whole
team at Avaaz |
