Demand USDA hold Big Poultry accountable for their disgusting factory farm conditions!

Turkey prices are up nearly 30% this Thanksgiving, but it’s not because farmers are gouging us. It’s because bird flu has continued to rip through factory farms, killing more than three million turkeys this year alone.

While families pay more at the grocery store, giant corporations like Butterball and Jennie-O are getting hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded bailouts for the birds they lost.

The worst part? These outbreaks are not bad luck—they’re the direct result of filthy, overcrowded factory farms where tens of thousands of genetically modified birds are packed together, wing to wing, in air thick with feces, ammonia, and disease.

Bird flu has already infected dozens of people and tens of thousands of cows in the U.S., and experts warn it could mutate and cause the next global pandemic. Globally, 42% of people who have contracted the virus have died. A full-blown bird flu pandemic could be much more deadly than COVID-19. Yet instead of fixing the problem, Big Poultry keeps profiting from it—and taxpayers keep footing the bill.

Add your name to tell the USDA to stop bailing out factory farms for their own self-inflicted outbreaks and start holding companies like Butterball and Jennie-O accountable for the dangerous conditions that make bird flu inevitable.
