TODAY: Send a quick message to the city of Denton, Texas, urging it not to fund Tyson’s cruelty! Click here and use our sample email below.

Earlier this month, you flooded the Denton mayor’s office with calls about Compassion Over Killing’s gut-wrenching investigation of Tyson Foods in response to reports that the poultry giant has requested an incentives package of over $700,000 from the city for its planned warehouse.

Although the poultry giant claims it will provide jobs and economic benefits to Denton, it relies on thousands of underpaid, overworked laborers to turn a quick profit, allowing workers to be scapegoats instead of taking responsibility for the suffering of the billions of birds it kills.

After watching COK’s footage, Tyson cut ties with the contract farm and workers were fired--and the company tried to wipe its hands clean of the abuse. But Tyson has yet to acknowledge a massive source of suffering in its supply chain: cruel rapid growth. The poultry giant breeds birds to grow so unnaturally large, so quickly that they can suffer heart attacks and their fragile legs often collapse under their own morbidly obese bodies -- all before they’re even 2 months old! If we grew that quickly, we’d weigh over 660 pounds at two months of age.

Drive home the message to the city of Denton TODAY not to fund Tyson’s cruelty! Click here and scroll to the bottom of the page to send your email using our sample below or your own polite message. Be sure to check all of the councilmembers’ names, and don’t forget to email campaigns@cok.net with any response you receive.

SAMPLE MESSAGE: Please deny Tyson’s requested incentives package. A recent COK investigation exposed horrific suffering due to Tyson’s breeding of birds to grow unnaturally large, so quickly that their fragile legs often collapse under their bodies. Yet Tyson has refused to take responsibility, instead placing the blame on underpaid workers. Please send a message to Tyson that public money won’t fund animal suffering by denying this request.
