Your Signature Is Needed: Demand EPA oversight of dangerous factory farms

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: 5.3 million chickens were ROASTED ALIVE at an egg factory farm due to an avian flu outbreak. This tragedy could have been prevented. Factory farms cram animals into confined spaces, which is not only abusive to these innocent creatures but creates optimal conditions for viruses and diseases to incubate. Right now, tens of millions of birds are being affected by the deadliest avian flu outbreak in years. Experts are even saying that the next pandemic could originate from factory farms. [We must urge the EPA to use its authority to regulate these harmful facilities to protect our public health. Add your name now >>]( [SIGN THE PETITION NOW]( The risk that factory farms could spark future disease outbreaks and even pandemics is not the only threat they pose to public health. The toxic waste released by factory farms can contain toxic pathogens and bacteria that end up in the water we drink and the air we breathe. And these massive operations emit large amounts of dangerous greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere, exacerbating the climate crisis. But the EPA has failed in its duty to protect our well-being from climate-warming and toxic pollutants generated by factory farms. If we don’t act now to curb the dangers of factory farms, our health and environment will continue to be at risk. [TAKE ACTION NOW: Demand federal oversight of factory farms that engage in unsafe, abusive, and environmentally destructive practices >>]( [SIGN THE PETITION NOW]( Thanks for helping to protect our health and environment.
