Chickens are the most abused animals on the planet. They are cruelly raised in factory farms and barbarically killed in slaughterhouses. We need your help to convince the government to protect chickens under the Humane Slaughter Act, which would at least spare them from some of the worst abuses that they suffer at the slaughterhouse.
Each year, more than 9 billion chickens in the U.S. are raised in factory farms and killed in slaughterhouses. In factory farms, birds are kept by the tens of thousands in filthy, windowless sheds, and at only 6 weeks of age, they are slammed into metal cages and trucked through all weather extremes to the slaughterhouse. The government does not protect chickens under the Humane Slaughter Act (HSA), which means that many chickens have their throats slit while they are still conscious—and some are even scalded to death in defeathering tanks. Even though this abuse is legal, we all know it's clearly cruel!
You can help protect these birds from cruelty and needless suffering in slaughterhouses by sending this letter to government officials asking them to protect chickens under the HSA.
