Urgent: Sign the petition! Tell @alexandre_farm dairy to stop #humanewashing. In a new @farmforward investigation, we uncovered systematic & widespread animal cruelty, corruption, & fraud at this so-called “humane” & “organic” dairy. Take 30 seconds now: https://t.co/25Y9MCmzsn

Bird flu isn’t just H5N1. Strains like H9N2 are mutating to infect humans more easily, while H5N1 keeps spreading through factory farms, wildlife, and people. We need to confront the root: a food system that treats animals and public health as expendable. https://t.co/XHy1RrUUdP

Researchers are not just worried about the virus popping up on American farms. Other types are causing trouble around the world.

The new U.S. dietary guidelines push more meat despite overwhelming evidence that animal agriculture fuels climate change and harms public health, propping up the very industries driving these environmental and public health crises. https://t.co/Pq8B8fMToe

And that is bad news for our planet.

Each year, over 9.7 BILLION birds are killed in the U.S. with no legal protection at slaughter. @USDA records show birds drowning, freezing, and being violently mishandled. These stressful, crowded conditions also increase the risk of bird flu outbreaks. https://t.co/k3zEQkglgq

The federal government allows the poultry industry to essentially police itself, leading to widespread animal suffering at slaughter.

More than 7 million kg of antibiotics were sold for use in U.S. livestock in 2024, fueling antibiotic resistance. Europe uses half as much per animal by improving sanitation and animal care. Here, it’s cheaper to rely on drugs than to fix factory farms. https://t.co/Zge01AHelS

Almost half of USDA Foods Program’s spending benefits only 25 corporations. New bill proposes aligning USDA food purchases with values of fairness, health, and sustainability. @SenMarkey @RepAdams Learn more about the bill here:

“Costco has 100% control. They get to decide how the birds are raised and what genetics are used. They get to decide how the birds are killed. They get to decide 100% of what goes on in those operations. And right now they’re choosing the worst option.” https://t.co/ov8jwH8vxl

Costco’s Nebraska plant turns out contaminated chicken. And the USDA can’t stop it from reaching store shelves.

At a Trump admin event, Blake Alexandre promoted his “regenerative” dairy. What he forgot to mention: our investigation documenting serious welfare concerns at his farm that helped prompt lawsuits. This is why we challenge humane & regenerative labels. https://t.co/4eFW6vvsLy

Costco’s famous $4.99 rotisserie chicken has a hidden cost and consumers are paying the price. Our new investigation reveals widespread salmonella contamination across the company’s poultry products, including strains linked to severe illness. https://t.co/CLtYIbq96N

Costco’s own poultry operation, Lincoln Premium Poultry, has repeatedly received USDA’s lowest food-safety rating (category 3) for excessive salmonella contamination. Farm Forward spoke with @wdefnews12 about the serious risks to animals and consumers.

USDA just announced $16B+ in disaster relief for farmers, including major aid for industrial dairy operations. Once again, federal dollars prop up factory farming with no meaningful change required. Where’s the support for farms transitioning away from cruel, high-risk systems?

Industrial poultry drives foodborne illness, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and environmental contamination. Consumer Reports found up to 1 in 3 chicken packages can contain salmonella - a clear sign of a system failing consumers. Full piece:

Some of the most prominent poultry brands are consistently failing USDA salmonella standards, yet plants aren’t punished and contaminated meat still hits grocery shelves. That means you as the consumer are often the only one who can protect yourself. https://t.co/HoNDO1d2iM

Following our new report, a National Chicken Council rep claimed producers have “driven salmonella levels to all-time lows.” The data says otherwise. Poultry still sickens 320k Americans each year, and the CDC estimates 29 of 30 cases go unreported. https://t.co/q1HjhVk2Kf
