Now is our FINAL CHANCE to stop the USDA’s dangerous high-speed slaughter proposal! Join elite athletes like ultrarunner Laura Kline in saying, “Not so Fast, USDA!” Watch Laura's new Facebook Live video at http://bit.ly/LauraKlineFB and then submit a quick comment TODAY using our sample at http://cok.net/notsofast! Today via Facebook Live, ultrarunner Laura Kline chatted with Compassion Over Killing’s Campaigns Manager Laura Cascada about her miles-long list of accomplishments as a vegan endurance athlete--and why it’s important for everyone, not just athletes, to join her in telling the USDA that a slaughterhouse is no place for a race. Watch her interview at http://bit.ly/LauraKlineFB! Earlier this year, Laura joined other top athletes like NBA All-Star Metta World Peace and Olympian and activist Dotsie Bausch in a new COK ad series telling the USDA that although sports stars are meant to be fast, high-speed slaughter is dangerous and cruel. In today’s video, Laura explained that the pilot program is “creating more inhumane conditions, more abuse of animals--and add to that the conditions that the workers have to deal with.” Expanding the high-speed pilot program would threaten the welfare of millions of pigs, consumers, and workers nationwide. COK’s investigation of Quality Pork Processors, considered a model plant for the expansion of the program, exposed egregious cruelty, as well as pigs covered in feces or pus-filled abscesses processed for human consumption. The footage reveals pigs being shocked, dragged, and improperly stunned as workers rushed to keep up with the slaughterhouse’s fast pace. Over a quarter million of you have signed COK’s petition, delivered in person by former investigator Scott David in the nation’s capital last week, urging the USDA to scrap this dangerous proposal. Now it’s time to make our voices heard loud and clear one last time before tomorrow’s deadline: Submit your comment TODAY at http://cok.net/notsofast! Don’t forget to share the above link with friends and family to multiply your impact! (P.S. Follow Laura on the trail and find healthy vegan recipes at her website, www.LauraJKline.com!)
