WASHINGTON, Nov. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) and Mercy For Animals, along with a coalition of more than 50 animal welfare, public health, labor, environmental, faith-based and sustainable agriculture organizations, commend U.S. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) for introducing the Industrial Agriculture Accountability Act. This federal legislation aims to better protect animals and the American people by holding the industrial operators of high-risk Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) accountable for the damage they cause when their systems fail. These industrial agribusiness facilities, also known as "factory farms," raise large numbers of farm animals such as pigs and chickens in intensive confinement where their movements and natural behaviors are extremely inhibited.

Key Points:

This federal legislation aims to better protect animals and the American people by holding the industrial operators of high-risk Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) accountable for the damage they cause when their systems fail.
Built by agribusinesses, the industrial livestock and poultry system is designed to maximize productionwhile externalizing risk and liabilityto ensure corporate profits even when the system fails," said Sen. Booker.
"We applaud Senator Booker for introducing the landmark Industrial Agriculture Accountability Act, which would provide new protections for farmed animals and hold corporations accountable for the true costs of factory farming."
Mercy For Animals is a leading international nonprofit working to end industrial animal agriculture by constructing a just and sustainable food system.

Nearly 100 Large Breed Dogs Rescued from Horrific Conditions Flown to ASPCA Rehabilitation Facility in Milestone Transport

Retrieved on:

Monday, November 7, 2022

PAHRUMP, Nev., Nov. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the ASPCA® (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) is flying nearly 100 large breed dogs rescued from horrific conditions outside of Las Vegas to its brand-new Cruelty Recovery Center to receive critical medical care, behavioral treatment, sheltering and enrichment to prepare them for adoption. The unprecedented transport marks a significant milestone for the ASPCA, as the Caucasian Shepherds, some approximately three feet tall and weighing over 100 pounds, are too big for standard-sized dog carriers and the number of dogs of this size could not fit in a commuter aircraft, severely limiting options for them to be relocated from the temporary emergency shelter where they were housed to a facility where they can receive the specialized rehabilitative care they require. To overcome these challenges and safely move the animals, the ASPCA is utilizing dog crate risers to modify the largest available flight-approved dog crates. The use of these larger crates and the number and size of these giant breed dogs also required the use of a chartered 747-cargo plane–the first flight of this type in animal welfare. Additional animals rescued from this case will be placed with Nevada Humane Society and made available for adoption.

Key Points:

To overcome these challenges and safely move the animals, the ASPCA is utilizing dog crate risers to modify the largest available flight-approved dog crates.
Additional animals rescued from this case will be placed with Nevada Humane Society and made available for adoption.
The ASPCA deploys nationally to assist local authorities in animal cruelty cases including animal fighting, hoarding, and puppy mills.

USDA Urged to Strengthen Farm Animal Welfare by Finalizing Long-Awaited Organic Standards

Thursday, October 27, 2022

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) and the Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) led more than 15 other organizations, farmers, and companies in urging the U.S. Department of Agriculture to finalize the Organic Livestock and Poultry Standards (OLPS) rule. These landmark federal regulations would require stronger welfare standards for animals raised under the "USDA Organic" label that better align with consumer expectations. The OLPS rule would also level the playing field for organic farmers who already adhere to higher-welfare practices, such as providing chickens with meaningful access to outdoor space where they can engage in natural behaviors.

Key Points:

These landmark federal regulations would require stronger welfare standards for animals raised under the "USDA Organic" label that better align with consumer expectations.
According to a recent national poll , the overwhelming majority (80 percent) of organic consumers say animal welfare is important to them when considering whether to purchase organic animal products, and 85 percent stated that it's important for the federal government to establish clear, uniform standards for animal welfare on organic farms.
"We're encouraged to see the USDA revisiting the OLPS rule to fix inconsistencies and loopholes in the National Organic Program.
The Animal Welfare Institute ( awionline.org ) is a nonprofit charitable organization founded in 1951 and dedicated to reducing animal suffering caused by people.
