John,

We need your help. We’ve launched a whistleblower campaign to encourage
industrial animal agriculture workers to confidentially report animal abuse,
worker safety, and other concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In partnership
with actor and animal advocate, Joaquin Phoenix, the Animal Legal Defense Fund
is launching a series of billboards near slaughterhouses and dense farming
communities across the country. Our online tip portal allows individuals to
remain anonymous and avoid retaliation.

And we need your help to spread the word if we are to help animals together. Please take a moment to share our whistleblower campaign on social media ,

[[link removed]] The COVID-19 pandemic is shining a light on acts of cruelty in the factory
farming industry and exposing the risks to humans that result from the
mistreatment of animals. Forced to work in cramped environments, nearly 40,000 slaughterhouse workers
have tested positive for COVID-19, and 174 have already died. The pandemic also upended factory farming’s supply chain. As slaughterhouses
temporarily shut down, many animals were left in factory farms longer than
anticipated, growing larger and older than slaughterhouses could handle or the
industry desired.

The industry responded with what they call “depopulation,” but in reality is the
mass killing of farmed animals — suffocating chickens with foam, gassing pigs
with carbon dioxide, and using ventilation shut down, where animals are baked
alive slowly as the temperature rises. A graphic video was released after a whistleblower came forward in Iowa,
exposing the reality of ventilation shut down: pigs called out in distress as
they were slowly cooked to death with steam over the course of many hours.

Whistleblowers are critical to exposing and stopping these abuses. You can speak out for farmed animals by sharing our campaign on Facebook,
Twitter, and Instagram .
[[link removed]] Thank you, as always, for each action you take on behalf of animals. For the animals,

Elizabeth Holtz
Campaigns Manager
