Petition updateTyson Foods: Stop Crippling Birds with Rapid Growth!ACTION NEEDED: Ask Tennessee state board not to fund cruelty!
Animal Outlook
May 21, 2018 — TODAY: Call the Tennessee State Funding Board and politely ask it to reconsider its $20 million incentives package for poultry giant Tyson Foods! Dial 615-401-7872 and use our sample script below or your own polite message. Last fall, Tyson announced plans for a new slaughterhouse in Humboldt, Tennessee--and now the state’s funding board is investing $20 million in this cruel project. But these state officials might not be aware that a recent Compassion Over Killing investigation exposed horrific suffering due to Tyson’s breeding of birds to grow so unnaturally large, so quickly that their fragile legs often collapse under their own morbidly obese bodies. Tennessee residents and millions more consumers around the country are flocking from this cruelty and toward kinder, sustainable plant protein. But Tyson has yet to address these atrocities by ending the genetic manipulation of birds for debilitating rapid growth once and for all. Make a quick call today to let the funding board know that public money shouldn’t be used to fund such suffering! Call 615-401-7872 and use our sample script below: SAMPLE MESSAGE: “As a concerned citizen, I urge the funding board to reconsider its $20 million incentives package for poultry giant Tyson Foods. A recent Compassion Over Killing investigation exposed horrific suffering due to Tyson’s breeding of birds to grow so unnaturally large, so quickly that their fragile legs often collapse under their own morbidly obese bodies. Millions of consumers like me are flocking from this cruelty -- and toward kinder, sustainable plant protein. Please send a strong message to Tyson that public money won’t be used to fund animal suffering by withdrawing this funding, and consider investing instead in plant-based foods. Thank you.” Please email campaigns@cok.net and let us know how your call went--and don’t forget to keep sharing our petition (http://bit.ly/TysonExposedAgain) on social media.
