For companies profiting off animal abuse, the heat is on

Summer is in full swing, and we’re finding ways to beat the heat while keeping the pressure on for the animals. You and I may be able to take a break from soaring temperatures, but animals on factory farms cannot. Worse, some animals are being roasted to death through a brutal practice called ventilation shutdown plus (VSD+).

This can’t continue. But there is hope.

Thanks to animal advocates like you, I see a rising tide of change before us. Thank you for being a part of our movement, and keeping the heat on corporate and institutional animal abusers.
