Outrageous: These ‘Humane’ Organizations Are Helping Factory Farming Thrive

UN LAB Middleware Label: Title Ends

Prepare to be shocked at what type of farms The Humane Society of the United States, the ASPCA, and Compassion in World Farming endorse. PETA investigators who got jobs at Plainville Farms and Sweet Stem Farm—two Pennsylvania companies that claimed to produce “humane” turkey and “humanely raised pork,” respectively—found systemic cruelty, deprivation, and suffering. What we’ll describe here is just some of the cruelty PETA’s investigators witnessed, and it’s being endorsed by “animal protection” groups here in the U.S.:

  • Plainville workers beat up and attacked turkeys for fun, to instill fear, to vent their frustration, or to relieve their boredom.
  • A Plainville worker held a turkey by her injured neck, mimicked masturbation, dropped her on the floor, kicked her, and left her to die.
  • Sweet Stem staff left pigs with painful rectal prolapses—as large as an orange and dripping with blood—without care for up to 24 days.
  • More than 20 pigs were tightly packed into a metal trailer without water on a hot day more than 24 hours before they were hauled to slaughter for Whole Foods.
  • A pig ran a fever intermittently for up to a month before finally being shot in the head and killed.

These farms were certified by the Global Animal Partnership, the group behind those misleading signs you see posted in Whole Foods Market stores’ meat departments touting “enriched environment” and “treated humanely,” claims that aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.

Please sign our petition telling the HSUS, the ASPCA, and CIWF—in no uncertain terms—to immediately resign from the Global Animal Partnership’s board of directors and end their affiliation with the partnership and all factory farming of animals.

And please get at least five relatives and friends to sign it, too!

Stop Endorsing G.A.P. and the Suffering it Endorses

I just saw video footage recorded by PETA of obvious and illegal cruelty at 12 farms that were certified as “humane” by the Global Animal Partnership.

That group’s standards allow for enormous animal suffering. The Global Animal Partnership could never ensure that 400 million animals per year are treated humanely, and we bet none of them are.

This program allows companies to market their factory-farmed products to caring consumers deceptively—with your organization’s approval. Please immediately remove your endorsement of this hideous cruelty by resigning from this fraud’s board of directors and ending your role as a “partner.”
