With Halloween just around the corner, horror icon Rob Zombie (musician and director of House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil’s Rejects) is taking the USDA to task for the real-life dangers posed to millions of animals, workers, and consumers by its reckless high-speed slaughter program. Join him TODAY by tweeting at the agency to end the high-speed horrors!

The USDA has begun granting waivers allowing poultry plants to run kill lines at the dangerously high speed of 175 birds every minute. Even at current speeds—more than two birds killed each second—suffering is rampant. A 2015 Compassion Over Killing investigation of a Mountaire slaughterhouse revealed live birds slammed into shackles and some even tossed into piles with the dead as workers rushed to keep up with the fast pace.

And COK’s investigation of a Hormel-supplying slaughterhouse running under the agency’s high-speed pig slaughter pilot program—which it’s now trying to expand nationwide—exposed pigs being beaten, dragged, and improperly stunned, possibly entering the scalding tank alive.

So this Halloween, Rob Zombie is joining the more than a quarter million of you who’ve told the USDA that slaughterhouses are already frightening enough. Says Zombie in his new COK ad: “Let's keep the screams on-stage and on-screen. USDA: End the high-speed horrors!”

Hammering his message home are targeted cell phone ads encircling the USDA’s headquarters in Washington, DC, featuring Zombie and directing hundreds to our quarter-million-strong petition.
