Protect Chickens and Turkeys Under Humane Slaughter Act


Protect Chickens and Turkeys Under Humane Slaughter Act
The Issue
Chickens, turkeys and ducks are not protected under the Humane Slaughter Act, which requires proper handling and treatment of animals being sent to slaughterhouses. Because of this, no laws are in place to ensure the humane treatment of poultry. These animals do not need to suffer to the extent that they are. Help urge USDA to protect chickens, turkeys and ducks from their cruel method of slaughter.
