Killed for profit

56 million animals dead   The US government is killing millions of animals every year, just because they ventured into farmland. But we have a chance to protect these majestic creatures. Wildlife defenders recently won a crucial ban on the use of cyanide bombs to kill animals. Now's the perfect time to put pressure on the Secretary of Agriculture to stop the wild animal slaughter: [ Sign the petitionÂ]( {NAME}, The US government has killed 56 million wild animals since 2004. 56 MILLION!!! Endangered gray wolves, majestic grizzly bears, foxes, beavers, songbirds – exterminated as vermin on behalf of giant greedy meat and dairy corporations. But wildlife defenders recently won a crucial ban on the use of cyanide bombs to kill animals for Big Ag. With our help they can build on the victory and end the massacre for good. Momentum is growing fast – we can be the tipping point! Sign now: [Stop the wild animal slaughter]( Not content with razing the Amazon and trashing the climate, Big Agriculture wants wild animals out of the way too – stripping the land of anything but mass-produced crops and cattle. And the US government is acting as their pest-control service! Almost half the country’s land has been colonised for meat, dairy and egg production, forcing other living creatures from their natural habitats. And when wild species dare stray onto this land, they risk being trapped, shot or poisoned. It’s so extreme – foxes have been killed with cyanide bombs, gray wolves gunned down from aeroplanes, starlings poisoned in such large numbers they’ve been known to rain down from the sky. This has to end. That’s why earth defenders are rallying, pushing for a package of new rules to govern the agency driving this – outlawing the killing of coyotes, bears and other crucial predators, prioritising non-lethal animal control and banning cruel methods like body-crushing traps. Add your name: [Stop the wild animal slaughter]( Giant meat and dairy corporations have been allowed to trash our planet for far too long, inflicting massive loss and deep suffering. But movements like ours are fighting back…and winning ground, from pushing McDonald’s and PepsiCo to commit to no-deforestation palm oil policies to getting bee-killing neonicotinoids banned in Europe. So let’s keep fighting, together, to protect our amazing world and all the creatures that live here.
