Hello, animal advocates! The Humane League recently launched a milestone campaign: taking on one of the world’s top meat producers, Tyson Foods, for its blatant neglect of animals, people, and public health. And we need your help to spread the word! 

Over the past few weeks, thousands of workers at these companies have contracted coronavirus due to the lack of adequate protection such as PPE, paid sick leave, and even proper social distancing protocols. Employees have died. The backlash against these companies has been swift and powerful, even leading Tyson to take out full-page ads in The New York Times and The Washington Post to “address” the failing food system—the broken, abusive, and oppressive system which they created.

This disregard for public health may not come as a surprise to many of us, however. For decades, Tyson Foods has perpetuated immense suffering as it continuously prioritized profits over doing the right thing for the animals, the planet, and the people. But now we're saying enough is enough.

It's time to hold this giant meat company accountable for the abuses it inflicts on its workers and animals. Please join us by taking the following actions:

• Action 1 - We can’t do this without your support, so please sign this petition and share it with your network! The more signatures we can gather, the more likely these companies will pay attention to our demands, and result in real changes.
• Action 2 - Reply to Tyson’s latest tweet and call them out for misleading the public. Use the following example as inspiration for your own comment.
  Example (please your this copy as inspiration for your own comment): @TysonFoodsCEO @TysonFoods Meat is NOT “essential”—especially when it comes from filthy factory farms that abuse animals and workers who are being put in harm’s way in order to get it. I'm done purchasing any @TysonBrand products. www.WorkingAtTyson.com
• Action 3 - Please call or text Tyson’s customer service line at 1-800-233-6332 to let them know that you demand real change.
  Example script: How can Tyson Foods claim to be doing all it can to support workers and communities when your own employees are getting sick by the thousands and people have even died? And why is it that you also operate cruel, filthy factory farms then? It’s crystal clear that the only thing Tyson actually cares about is profits. It’s time to do better!

With your help, we can make this world a better, safer, and healthier place for all of Earth’s inhabitants. Thank you for your commitment to ensuring these employees and animals receive the basic rights that they all deserve!

PS: If you’d like to get involved with a second new initiative, please sign and share this petition against another huge meat producer, Smithfield Foods, too!
