The footage
captured by activists from inside factory farms is horrifying.
Chickens with their beaks chopped off to reduce pecking,
gagging to death on their own blood. Cows bellowing out to be
reunited with their young offspring — but they never will be.
This is just a normal day at any of the 25,000 factory farms
currently operating in the U.S. Yet remarkably, even as much as these poor
animals are suffering, they're not the only
ones.
Factory farming exists to put
bottomless loads of cash in the pockets of just a few
corporate millionaires. In the meanwhile, it's a form of
torture for the animals and employees there alike — all while
making consumers and the planet sick. COVID-19 outbreaks are
racing through meat plants, where staff were already
struggling with PTSD and depression. Families at the dinner
table have been ingesting animals pumped full of antibiotics
and unnatural growth hormones. Meanwhile, our climate is
straining under the huge impact of factory farms' greenhouse
gas emissions.
Luckily, U.S. Senators Corey
Booker and Elizabeth Warren have teamed up to push legislation
that would finally ban large-scale factory farming across the
country over the next 20 years. This would be a huge win for
all of us. The facts are clear: factory farming is a
horrific practice that's making us sick — animals, workers,
consumers, and Mother Earth all included. It needs to end,
now. Urge the U.S. Congress to pass this crucial
legislation to ban factory farming!
Thank you for all that you do,
