Help Protect Animals Sold in Live Markets

View this email in a browser. [[link removed]] [[link removed]]Dear John,

We need your help identifying live animal markets in the United States.

Live animal markets refer to facilities where animals are both slaughtered and
then sold direct-to-consumer onsite, regardless of size and number of species. A
wide range of animals are killed in these markets—from farmed animals like
chickens and goats to frogs and turtles.

REPORT A LIVE ANIMAL MARKET IN YOUR COMMUNITY
[[link removed]]Animals used in live markets suffer extreme cruelty—terrified and confined to
tiny, filthy cages before being slaughtered. The link between the COVID-19
pandemic and a live market in China has thrust these facilities into the
international spotlight. But live animal markets also exist in the United
States.

Live animal markets are not only cruel, they can be a breeding ground for
zoonotic diseases. Unsanitary and inhumane practices like keeping animals in
cages stacked on top of one another are commonplace.

To help protect animals and public health, the Animal Legal Defense Fund is
working to develop comprehensive food and safety policies addressing live animal
markets. If you’re aware of a market in your community, please tell us using our online
submission form.

For the animals,
