Help fight for the humane treatment of poultry

[Guest guest]

Dear Friend,

 

Strange but true: Poultry - chickens, turkeys, ducks, and geese

- are NOT protected by humane slaughter laws in this country,

even though they make up 95% of all animals killed for food in

the United States (9 billion birds a year). Today, you and I

have the power to change that.

 

To get Congress to amend the law to explicitly provide the same

basic protections for poultry that cows, pigs, lambs and other

livestock have, we need to demonstrate widespread support as

quickly as possible. Join me in signing the Petition for

Poultry. It will only take a minute of your time to help

billions of animals.

I also hope you'll join me in urging Secretary of Agriculture

Mike Johanns to enforce the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act for

birds. Current USDA policy excludes poultry from the Act's

protections, leaving billions of animals without any protections

from cruel treatment. I have joined The Humane Society of the

United States and thousands of caring people across the country

in demanding that the USDA reverse this arbitrary policy. Please
