Urgent: Sign the petition! Tell Alexandre Family Farm dairy to stop #humanewashing . In a new @farmforward investigation, we uncovered systematic & widespread animal cruelty, corruption, & fraud at this so-called “humane” & “organic” dairy. Take 30 seconds now: bit.ly/3xzCp2E

I've spent a lot of the last six months working on this story about reports of abuse at one of the country's most-esteemed, certified-humane dairy farms. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

In this @newsweek op-ed, @Farmforward Exec Director Andrew deCoriolis & public health veterinary expert Gail Hansen share concerns about the govt’s response to #birdflu . They seem to be downplaying the risks when what's needed is vigilance and reform. bit.ly/3vVHvFT

The consequence for factory farms that employ dangerous practices that lead to #birdflu outbreaks, necessitating the killing of millions of sick birds? NONE! Instead, Dept. of Agriculture *compensates* these factory farms for the losses they caused in the first place — without requiring reform.

Last week, @farmforward & Our Honor released an investigation showing that Dept. of Agriculture has paid $715 million to companies like Tyson and Jennie-O to compensate for losses from #birdflu outbreaks that those very companies largely caused. Read more @ bit.ly/49wzRQj

#BirdFlu emerged on industrial poultry farms, and now taxpayers are footing the cleaning bill. The New York Times reports: the Dept. of Agriculture has paid over a *half billion* dollars, mostly to giant poultry companies, to clean up the problem they created in the first place. nytimes.com/2024/04/02/sci…

Big Meat isn't climate friendly or humane. So, they resort to #greenwashing and #humanewashing . We hope this lawsuit 1) shows Big Meat that lying to consumers has consequences, & 2) spurs REAL change like an end to #factoryfarming . Jan Dutkiewicz vox.com/future-perfect…

Take action now! If the EATS Act is included in the Farm Bill, it could cancel critical state & local laws protecting consumer safety & #animalwelfare , including CA's Prop 12. Tell your legislators to oppose the EATS Act in the upcoming Farm Bill. defeateats.com/defeat-the-eat…

.Chick-fil-A, Inc. is ditching its No Antibiotics Ever policy. Last yr after Dept. of Agriculture said it's considering testing to ensure No Antibiotics labels are true, @Tysonfoods dropped its label. Chick-fil-A says it must follow suit — 1/5 of U.S. chickens come from Tyson. nytimes.com/2024/03/25/bus…

The Dept. of Agriculture announced that #birdflu was found in dairy cows on farms in Kansas & Texas. This is extremely worrying, signaling a dire need for the end of #factoryfarming , which creates breeding grounds for pandemics, putting animals & humans at risk. bit.ly/43uQLgN

9 charts from Peggy Miles show how #factoryfarming is growing. Not because the public approves (they don’t) but because a small # of companies have outsized power & influence. This should be a wakeup call. We must build the public will to #endfactoryfarming . vox.com/future-perfect…
