Mama pigs CRAMMED into tiny, filthy pens, caged away from the warmth of the sun. A bleak and dreary existence – day in and day out – until the time comes to be MERCILESSLY SLAUGHTERED.
This is the harsh reality for many animals on factory farms. These massive industrial operations don’t just treat animals poorly – they also pollute the air and local waterways and rely on feed crops treated with TOXIC PESTICIDES!
That’s why it’s so important we invest in organic agriculture as an alternative to polluting, abusive factory farms. To meet organic requirements, livestock must be fed 100% organic feed and be provided outdoor access year-round, as well as enough space to stretch and move around. Organic farming is also free of all antibiotics, all artificial growth hormones, and more than 900 pesticides otherwise allowed in agriculture!
But right now, Trump’s USDA is SLASHING programs that support small and organic farmers – to the benefit of his Big Ag buddies that run corporate factory farms.
The Domestic Organic Investment Act would permanently invest in our country’s organic farmers, and support distribution so that more people have access to healthy, safer foods – as opposed to food produced in factory farms that pollute so many of our communities. But this bill needs your help to pass through Congress, Andy! Tell Congress to pass the Domestic Organic Investment Act and support organic farming – NOT Big Ag factory farms!
