What you don't know . . .
Dear Supporter,
We don’t need to tell you about the health and environmental (not to mention animal welfare) horrors of factory farms.
But we do need to tell a lot more people—millions more—if we want to bring down this degenerative farming system.
![]() Anyone who buys into the "What you don't know, can't hurt you" theory probably never visited our website or read one of our newsletters.
If they had, they’d know what a nightmarish mess of hog manure “lagoons” and slimy green “dead zones” industrial factory farms produce.
They’d also know what kind of drug and pesticide cocktails they’re ingesting everytime they eat industrially produced pork, chicken, beef and dairy product.
Unfortunately, too many people don't know what's wrong with industrial meat and dairy production—or what they can do to change it.
We have a pretty good idea what it will take.
It takes technical and communications resources to educate a critical mass of consumers.
It takes staff resources to dig up the dirt on companies like Cargill and Costco (which is building the largest chicken factory farm operation in the world so it can sell “cheap” chicken).
It takes media resources to work with reporters who have the power to get out the truth about what’s really in factory farm meat—and how government agencies fail to protect you—to millions of people.
It takes legal resources to go up against multi-billion-dollar agribusiness corporations like Tyson and Unilever’s Ben & Jerry’s (yes, Ben & Jerry’s is one of the biggest supporters of industrial dairy) in court, so we can hold them accountable when they lie to you about how “sustainable” their products and practices are.
It takes all of this—and all of you.
You are our most valuable resource. With your help, we can change the system.
Thank you!
In gratitude,
