2019—the Year of the Pig—is almost upon us. But right now, the USDA is plowing forward with a dangerous, cruel plan to expand high-speed pig slaughter nationwide. Help us keep the pressure on the agency to end its high-speed horrors through a generous donation TODAY!

This year we released a shocking new investigation shining a bright light on cruel high-speed chicken slaughter at Amick Farms, revealing birds being punched, shoved, and thrown down the recklessly fast-paced kill line. Other birds slowly drowned in electrified stunning baths during equipment breakdown. Our investigator also documented “red birds” with blood seen under their skin—evidence that they were scalded alive.

Now the USDA isn’t only moving forward with plans to expand cruel high-speed pig slaughter nationwide—it’s also granting waivers allowing even more poultry slaughterhouses to increase their line speeds, endangering millions of animals, workers, and consumers.

In 2018, with your support, we teamed up with elite athletes, delivered more than a quarter million signatures to the USDA’s doorstep, and wrote a hard-hitting letter signed by more than 30 diverse organizations in opposition to the USDA’s dangerous high-speed pig and poultry slaughter plans.

In 2019, we’ll ramp up the pressure on the federal agency to put the brakes on high-speed slaughter once and for all. But we can’t do it without your support! Make 2019 the year for ALL pigs—and birds—suffering at slaughterhouses around the country with a generous donation to our crucial work TODAY! It’s fast, easy, and secure—and if you donate before midnight TONIGHT, your gift will be MATCHED dollar-for-dollar, doubling your impact!
