Compassionate Action: Spring 2008, Issue 22
Dear Friend,
Erica and friend at Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary
In the wake of the nation's largest meat recall, which stemmed from
an undercover investigation exposing egregious abuses at a California
dairy cow slaughter plant, the increased awareness of the suffering
endured by animals raised for food is undeniable. Yet, we still have
such a long way to go.
As you read about our most recent undercover investigation
inside an egg factory farm, our consumer fraud lawsuit against the
egg industry, our Morningstar Farms campaign victory and so much
more in this issue of Compassionate Action, we hope to inspire you to
get active—or even more active—for animals. The opportunities to get
involved are endless, and the animals urgently need our help today.
More than 10 billion birds, pigs, and cows are killed each year in the U.S. for us to
eat, and most consumers simply have no idea how miserable the lives of farmed animals
truly are, from birth until death. The industry, of course, would prefer to keep it that
way, hiding the painful realities of meat, egg, and dairy production behind closed doors.
Our hard-hitting campaigns are having a positive impact for animals, and we
couldn't do it without you.
That's why COK works tirelessly to
bring the animals' voices to the public's
attention as well as provide people with are having a positive
the tools they need to begin transitioning
to an animal-friendly diet. Thanks to the
generosity of our supporters, each year
we're able extend our reach on behalf of
animals even further—on television, in newspapers and magazines, on the streets of
D.C. and in cities from coast to coast, in high school classrooms, in courtrooms, and
online. Our hard-hitting campaigns are having a positive impact for animals, and we
couldn't do it without you.
Thank you for standing with us—and with the animals—in our efforts to
spread a much-needed message of compassion.
Sincerely,
Erica Meier
Executive Director
