Week of Action Against Tyson
Recent outbreaks of COVID-19 in meatpacking plants ([link removed][UNIQID]) have exposed the meat industry's undeniable prioritization of their own profit at the expense of workers, public health, animals, and the environment.

That's why Animal Outlook is participating in a call-in day of action today. Our supporters are calling Tyson's HQ to demand slower line speeds and better working conditions for employees.

Here is a sample script you can use:
"Hello, my name is ____, and I was appalled to learn how Tyson is treating its workers during this pandemic. I urge you to immediately slow down line speeds, provide paid sick leave, enforce social distancing, ensure daily testing, provide PPE, disclose COVID cases in your facilities, and stop retaliating against your workers."

Farm fact

Chickens raised for meat are selectively bred to grow to “market weight” at such a rapid rate, that approximately 26-30% suffer from difficulty walking because their skeletons have trouble supporting their growing bodies.

Fun fact
Chickens have complex forms of communication. They have at least 24 types of vocalizations that they use to communicate different messages. For instance, a mother telling her chicks to stay close uses a different sound than a chicken letting others know they found food.
Examining My Whiteness Brought Me to Animal Rights
Our Communications Manager Stuart McDonald wrote this thought-provoking article ([link removed][UNIQID]) last year about her personal journey to animal rights and examining the intersections with other social justice movements. Reading this article is a great starting point for anyone looking to expand their understanding of the intersections of oppression and work toward liberation for all.
