Sign now: Stop factory farms from abusing animals and driving climate change!

Factory farms trap mother pigs in cages so small they can't even turn around and engage in practices that directly endanger our environment. Factory farming is one of the worst perpetrators of animal cruelty, air and water pollution and public health harm and is one of the biggest drivers of climate change.

Dear Secretary Vilsack,

I am writing to urge you to do all within your power to end USDA’s support for climate-harming factory farms that engage in unsafe, abusive and environmentally destructive practices. Factory farming is a driving cause of the climate crisis, harms local communities, creates breeding grounds for the next pandemic, and perpetuates intolerable animal suffering.
 
Producing animals at such a massive scale threatens our only Earth and endangers the health and livelihoods of the people who live near factory farms. Communities living near factory farms are often low-income communities and communities of color, making this a crucial environmental justice issue.  Our planet is in crisis, and that calls for transformative solutions that end federal support for factory farming. That means slashing subsidies for factory farm gas, ending the support of USDA’s conservation programs for factory farms, and helping farmers transition to sustainable and humane forms of agriculture as quickly as possible.

Again, I respectfully urge you to do all you can to end federal support for climate-harming factory farms that engage in unsafe, abusive and environmentally destructive practices.

Sincerely,
