[[link removed]]URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Help PROTECT innocent animals and our planet from factory
farms! Act now!
[[link removed]]

Did you know that in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, your taxpayer
dollars helped Big Ag corporations to GAS and SHOOT millions of animals amid slaughterhouse shutdowns? The total number of animals killed is still unknown.

This is just one example of the cruelty of factory farms -- there are countless
more. In transit from farms to slaughterhouses, hens are CRAMMED into cages so tiny they can’t even spread their wings. Pregnant mother pigs are being FORCED into metal pens small enough that they can’t even turn around. Once animals
reach slaughterhouses, their THROATS ARE SLASHED and they’re left to bleed out.

The unsanitary conditions in which these poor animals are kept create a public
health hazard for people too. Fecal waste and other pollution can POLLUTE community drinking water. Air pollution can create TERRIBLE ODORS. And factory farms can be a dangerous breeding ground for bacteria and disease -- which can lead to MASS,
CRUEL SLAUGHTERS.

Your taxpayer dollars are supporting this cruel, unjust, and inhumane system --
but Congress has a bill to help change that. The Industrial Agriculture Accountability Act will help hold Big Ag
corporations accountable and prevent some of the most inhumane ways of
slaughtering animals, but it needs more support to pass. That’s where you come
in, Friend. If just 1 of every 8 people reading this email sends a message to their Members
of Congress, we can help DEFEND people, our planet, and helpless animals from
factory farms. Please take action by 11:59pm TONIGHT!

[[link removed]]You might have grown up being fed fairy-tale images of farms. Green rolling
pastures where cows roam, mud pits where pigs joyfully slide around, and
seed-littered dirt that chickens peck at for food.

This is NOT where most of your meat and dairy products come from. Small and family-owned sustainable farms may bear some resemblance to the farm
images from your childhood, but they’re being CRUSHED by titanic corporations
whose only goal is to churn out more meat and maximize profits, regardless of
the consequences.

That’s why this bill is important, Friend. Factory farms
cause so much pain -- to our communities, to small and family-owned farms, to
innocent animals, and to our entire planet. With so much at risk, we NEED YOUR HELP to pass this bill. Please, Friend, will you take just 30 seconds to send
your Members of Congress a message to help FIGHT greedy factory farm
corporations? >>
