Dear Friend,

We recently alerted you to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s consideration of a rule ([link removed]) to establish new water pollution control standards for slaughterhouses and rendering facilities discharging waste into U.S. rivers, lakes, and streams, a leading cause of the nitrogen and phosphorus pollution that fuels toxic algal blooms and “dead zones” in our waterways.

Since then we've been advocating ([link removed]) for you and communities across the U.S. that are impacted by this unregulated industrial pollution. There's still time to add your voice so that our message is heard loud and clear in Washington, D.C. and throughout the animal agriculture industry:

EPA must resist industry influence to put profit over people and instead do its duty to provide a modernized, robust regulatory framework that fulfills its mission 'to protect human health and the environment -- today and everyday.'

Will you take a moment to leave your own personalized comment that urges EPA to finalize the strongest possible discharge standards for slaughterhouses and rendering plants? ([link removed])

EPA has proposed three options to this problem. It is imperative that we let them know that only the most protective option will suffice.

Now is the time to finally address this serious, well-documented source of industrial pollution that endangers clean water and safe communities. We cannot afford further inaction or half measures.

That is why we are rallying all voices to leave personalized comments with EPA asking for the strongest possible safeguards.

Will you join us? ([link removed])

With thanks,

Thomas Hynes
