Suing the American Heart Association

Yesterday, we sued the American Heart Association (AHA) over the organization’s use of its “Heart-Check” certification mark on certain meat products. Our lawsuit alleges that, in exchange for a fee ([link removed]) , the AHA allows companies to display the “Heart-Check” mark on meat products and market them as “heart healthy,” which is counter to AHA’s prior statements concerning the negative effects of such “foods.”
"For nearly 100 years the American Heart Association has made it its mission to educate consumers on healthy living,” said Animal Outlook Executive Director Cheryl Leahy. “That’s why it's so incongruous that they are now selling these pay-to-play heart healthy certifications for the very meat products they have publicly taken a position against.” Read more here ([link removed]) .

Citizen Petition
Earlier this month, Animal Outlook filed a petition for rulemaking ([link removed]) that requires the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry (DACF) to begin the process of applying Maine anti-cruelty laws to the state’s booming aquaculture industry.

The petition stems from Animal Outlook’s 2019 investigation into a Maine salmon hatchery ([link removed]) . The investigation documented horrific violence against fish and brought to light that the welfare of aquatic animals in aquaculture facilities is not actually being addressed by any agency in the state of Maine. Spectrum News covered the submission of the petition in an excellent, thorough article. Read it here ([link removed]) .

Supreme Court Case
Meanwhile, we’re advocating for animals in the U.S. Supreme Court. “Pork” producers have challenged California’s Proposition 12 ([link removed](2018)) , which requires that all eggs, “veal,” and “pork” produced and/or sold in the state comply with basic minimal space requirements to enable animals – including pregnant pigs in the pork industry – to have enough room to spread their wings or limbs and turn around.

Animal Outlook and other animal advocacy groups have intervened in the case to defend the law alongside California. The group filed our joint brief ([link removed]) earlier this month, and the case will be argued October 11. Stay tuned for updates.
