Fwd: Farm Sanctuary News and Action Alerts 6/25-7/2/02

[Guest guest]

The action alerts below include one for Cypress Foods. I was one of many

dedicated volunteers/rescuers involved in this case (a first hand

account of the condition of these farms and the animals taken out can be

found on my AR bulletin board linked in my signature line. The 3 part

post is entitled " Cypress Foods " ). *PLEASE* send a letter to prosecutor

Bernie McCabe requesting justice for the horrific cruelty that took

place on these farms. 1 MILLION hens died of starvation, their cries for

food were ignored. Our letters can serve as their voice, this time we

can ensure that they will be heard!

Hello Kristina,

 

HELP PROSECUTE CYPRESS FOODS FOR STARVING 1 MILLION ANIMALS

Earlier this year, Cypress Foods starved 1 million hens at egg factories in

Florida and Georgia--causing intolerable suffering and leading to the birds'

deaths. Farm Sanctuary is urging authorities to prosecute Cypress Foods for its

wanton disregard for animal welfare. Our attorney, Paul Rebein, has prepared a

58-page document with compelling legal analysis and evidence urging the state's

prosecutor, Bernie McCabe, to actively pursue the case. Rebein writes: " Upwards

of 1 million chickens were starved at facilities owned by Cypress Foods in

Georgia and Florida.If prosecuted, this will be a landmark case. If not, it will

be an infamous injustice. " Please write to Bernie McCabe and encourage him to

prosecute Cypress Foods to the fullest extent of the law:

Prosecutor Bernie McCabe

14250 14th St. North, Room 1000

Clearwater, FL 33762

ROSA--SAFE AT FARM SANCTUARY

Rosa the rabbit was rescued from a horrendous neglect case in which she was left

inside a tiny, filthy cage because she had grown too big for the door. When

Rosa was discovered by Animal Control officers, the cage wire had grown into her

back and she had to be cut free. The wire left severe wounds across her back

that required months of treatment. Today, Rosa is living happily with the other

rabbits at Farm Sanctuary. Rosa is looking for loving " adoptive parents " to

provide for her care at Farm Sanctuary. For more information on adopting a farm

animal, visit http://www.farmsanctuary.org/adopt/sponsor.htm

FLY TO FLORIDA TO HELP THE PIGS!

The Florida ballot initiative that would ban gestation crates -- crates that

keep mother pigs immobilized for nearly all four years of their lives-- is in

jeopardy of not making the November 2002 ballot. Only two weeks remain in which

to gather the 60,000 REMAINING signatures required to put the initiative on the

ballot, and sponsors have donated transportation and housing for volunteers to

come down to Florida and help gather those signatures! If you're going to the

AR2002 conference in DC (www.animalrights2002.org), this would be a great

opportunity to extend your trip for the animals, and fly from DC down to Florida

with other activists for the Fourth of July weekend to be a part of this

groundbreaking initiative! Contact Amy at Floridians for Humane Farms TODAY:
