In 2018, Animal Outlook revealed the horrors of high-speed chicken slaughter with undercover footage of a facility operating under a waiver allowing it to slaughter up to 175 birds per minute. The Trump administration proposed a rule to make this reckless, dangerous speed the norm by allowing all facilities to run slaughter lines about 25 percent faster than the current regulation.
But this week, in a victory for animals, workers and consumers, the USDA withdrew the rule.
Despite this good news, there's still work to be done to kill high-speed slaughter for good. Take action now by signing our petitions to slow down line speeds for chickens and pigs.

NYT Asks: Is Dairy Farming Cruel to Cows? We’ve Known the Answer for Years.
Last October, we released a heartbreaking undercover investigation exposing horrific abuses of mother cows and their calves. Recently, The New York Times published an article highlighting our investigation, asking: “Is Dairy Farming Cruel to Cows?”
Our answer: Unequivocally, yes. But Big Dairy’s PR machine spun the story, putting small, “family” farms in the spotlight to dupe consumers into believing they represent the dairy industry–or that they’re not just as cruel to animals as the big factory farms. Read more on the Animal Outlook blog.
