FARM SANCTUARY WARNS OF UNSAFE AND INHUMANE FOOD PROCESSING

YOU MIGHT WANT TO READ this new Huffington Post blog by Farm Sanctuary’s Senior Advocacy Director Bruce Friedrich titled “USDA Inspector General: Food Safety and Humane Slaughter Laws Ignored With Impunity.” 

Basically, according to a new report released last week by the USDA Office of the Inspector General (OIG),contaminated pork is pouring out of slaughterhouses. Surprisingly, perhaps because of the Farm Bill, there hasn’t been even one sentence written about the report in the media, beyond a few meat industry Blogs.


I hope you will consider writing about this extremely concerning report, or sharing a link to Bruce’s blog. Bruce Friedrich is available for interview any time.

Cheers,
Meredith
