Check It Out–World Animal Protection at Climate Week NYC

What didn’t we do for Climate Week NYC?! Check it Out–World Animal Protection at Climate Week NYC ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ [World Animal Protection]( [What Didn’t We Do for Climate Week NYC?!]( Dear Friend, Thank you to everyone who followed and supported our actions for Climate Week NYC! We wanted to share a brief recap of the many events and collaborations. Exploring a Revolutionary Food System[​​​​​​]( Our panel [“Building a Climate-Friendly Food System”]( was a great way to kick off the week. Farming Campaign Manager Annette Manusevich discussed the devastation to wild animals and their habitats to fuel the expansion of factory farming and how reducing meat products on plates and menus is critical to protecting animals and our planet. Annette was joined by Patrick Jammet from mushroom-based protein company Meati and Craig Willingham from the CUNY Urban Food Policy Institute who spoke on their solutions for building a better food system that doesn’t rely on factory farms. A huge thank you to our local NYC supporters who joined us in person! If you couldn’t make it, you can [watch a recording of the panel here](. Feeding Hearts and Saving the Planet[​​​​​​]( Our event [“Give a Cluck about Climate”]( provided delicious cruelty-free bao bun sandwiches to New Yorkers around Washington Square Park featuring Meati’s Crisply Cutlet. Our team was on the ground inviting the public to take part in our quiz and check out resources to learn more about how factory farming damages our planet and causes immense animal suffering (and take away some great swag!). We were joined by the team at PLNT Burger who also gave away coupons to their restaurants and other swag. [Watch our]( recap video here.]( [World Animal Protection]( Cracking the Case of Climate Culprits[​​​​​​]( We launched our true crime-inspired campaign inviting people to investigate the question of who is killing wild animals in the forests and other diverse habitats of Brazil. Posters around NYC drew the attention of passersby, who were asked if they were ready to learn the truth. Fake crime scenes were installed around four neighborhoods during climate week to draw even more urgent concern for wild animals such as sloths, jaguars, anteaters, and monkeys. The big reveal? Factory farming companies like JBS are responsible for the deaths of wild animals and the destruction of their homes! Standing Against JBS on Wall Street[​​​​​​]( Speaking of JBS–we joined our allies at Friends of the Earth US, Rainforest Action Network, and Global Witness outside of the New York Stock Exchange for a press conference calling on the financial sector to oppose the company’s latest attempt to be publicly traded in the US. Allowing JBS on the NYSE opens its universe of potential investors, but the risks to animals, people, and the planet are simply too high. Investments shouldn’t support the expansion of animal production; they should direct resources to animal-free and climate-friendly foods! Climate Week may be over, but our work to end factory farming marches on! [Help us continue to build creative tactics that expose the truth about factory farming and catalyze more innovative solutions.]( Sincerely, Cameron Harsh Director of Programs World Animal Protection [Donate Now]( [[[S0:SITE_NAME]]]( We are World Animal Protection We end the needless suffering of animals We influence decision makers to put animals on the global agenda We help the world see how important animals are to all of us We inspire people to change animals’ lives for the better We move the world to protect animals We strive to end injustice We were known as WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals) [World Animal Protection 535 8th Ave 3rd FL New York, NY 10018 United States](#) P: [646-783-2200](tel:16467832200) | info@worldanimalprotection.us World Animal Protection is a U.S. registered charity EIN #04-2718182 World Animal Protection ©2023 All rights reserved.
