URGENT ACTION NEEDED: New proposal could give factory farms special permission to keep YOU from seeing what's happening at their facilities. Take action now!>>
Andy, the reality of factory farms and slaughterhouses is far worse than we can possibly imagine. Days-old male chicks SHREDDED ALIVE because they’re deemed “useless.” Piglets ripped away SCREAMING from their mothers trapped behind cold steel bars. Chickens PACKED wing-to-wing so tightly they COLLAPSE onto each other.
10 billion innocent animals – more than the global population of humans – are trapped in nightmares like these on factory farms in the U.S. And while these innocent creatures are enduring this abuse, nearby communities are left exposed to the dangers of polluted air and contaminated waterways from the massive amounts of waste produced by these enormous industrial facilities.
Industrial animal agriculture’s horrendous practices are already subsidized, enabling them to maximize profits at the expense of animal suffering and the environment. Now Big Ag wants to make sure these practices are hidden from public view.
Right now, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing a new rule that could allow factory farms and slaughterhouses to obtain drone flight restrictions – limiting the public from seeing what Big Ag doesn’t want us to see.
Drone footage has become an essential tool for documenting environmental impacts, revealing animal abuse and holding powerful corporations accountable. If this rule is finalized, factory farms and slaughterhouses could use it to limit public oversight and make it that much harder for journalists, advocates and nearby residents to lawfully document what happens at these massive industrial facilities.
We cannot let greedy Big Ag facilities get away with unethical or even illegal practices while keeping consumers in the dark – we must DEMAND transparency immediately!
Andy, you have a right to know how your food is produced! Will you stand with us today and tell the FAA to REJECT the new drone rule so that aerial footage of industrial animal ag activity remains available to the public? Submit your comment NOW >>
