Motivating the AVMA to envision a world without Ventilation Shutdown
United Poultry Concerns is an active coalition member of OurHonor.org, a nonprofit organization whose “goal is to create an organized network of professionals who are able to formally challenge unethical institutionalized systems and amplify the voices of those who have been marginalized.” Our current engagement with Our Honor relates to Our Honor’s campaign to persuade the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) to formally oppose the use of Ventilation Shutdown (“depopulating” animals by baking them slowly and torturously to death) as a method of mass-exterminating chickens, turkeys, ducks, and other farmed animals to control avian influenza and other transmittable diseases among these highly stressed, fragile and disease-susceptible birds and pigs on factory farms.
Here is Our Honor’s latest update on this vital campaign on behalf of farmed animals. Please read and share:
