Crazy, crazy stuff.

A landmark legal settlement in the US put meat giant Tyson Foods and its exaggerated climate claims under unprecedented scrutiny 🌍 👉 Find out more: https://veganfta.com/articles/2026/03/20/global-meat-giants-forced-to-dial-back-misleading-climate-claims/ #climatechange #climatecrisis #meat

A bizarre article celebrating cage-free systems. Years of research and the big takeaways: hens like to lay eggs in dark, private places (any backyard chicken farmer knows that) and researchers have been able to reduce mortality rates to those of caged hens. www.wattagnet.com/blogs/hens-a...?

More than 200 million birds have now died in mass killings using methods that cause immense suffering. And still the AVMA sanctions it.

Absolutely true.

Excellent piece by John McCracken. Wisconsin has some of the highest water nitrate concentrations in the U.S. Yet state gov't continues to block funding and staffing for the agency tasked with ensuring CAFOs comply with their permits. Republicans possibly? investigatemidwest.org/2026/03/11/w...

A lot of parallels with Iowa here. Ignore a water problem for decades, when crisis hits, blame it on the weather. Giant corporations wrecking communities and the countryside with the help of R politicians www.texastribune.org/2026/03/08/t...

Good lord. >36 mg/L. What was the big change on or about March 6?

None of this is necessary. Don't pay for it.

For every 100 calories of grain fed to animals, only 3-25 calories of meat are produced. This wastes land, damages ecosystems and leaves people hungry. We need to fix our broken food system. Please sign our open letter to the UK Prime Minister ➡️ https://bit.ly/4hc5yDO

Land use, water use, biodiversity loss, pollution, human health impacts... the list is endless. insideclimatenews.org/news/2502202...

Fully support the big tent idea.

“In fact, there is a Democrat research scientist, Chris Jones, a water researcher who is running for IA Sec of Ag. A quixotic mission in IA, a D running against an incumbent R; that’s really a tall task.” civileats.com/2026/02/24/h...

Apart from human health considerations, the Trump exec order on glyphosate's importance to national security is utterly baffling. Until now. Great piece by @stacymalkan.bsky.social usrtk.org/pesticides/t...

Gail Eisnitz is one of the unsung heroes of the world.

The #1 way to lower your carbon footprint is to leave animals off your plate! Scientists estimate wild mammals & birds now make up only 4% of the world’s land vertebrate biomass, while humans & livestock account for roughly 96%. In other words, we did not simply shrink the wild, we replaced it.

They WERE lied to - in theory. But the old maxim applies. It's not what they say, it's what they DO. And this admin has shown all along it will side with corporations over public health. MAHA moms could turn it around now though.

Great promotion. And absolutely grounded in truth.

Actually, it's the Gulf of Water Pollution Denial

Craziest thing ever. No indication that there is a deficit of glyphosate. And to claim that it's for "food" production is insanity. More than 70% used on corn & soybeans for animal feed & ethanol. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/u...

Wow. Art is powerful.

This is a terrific, creative recap of harms done by factory farming and the wonderful folks working to end it.https://sraproject.org/unlivable/

www.foodandwaterwatch.org/2026/02/12/i... This is pretty damn good

They think they're saving $ in regulation costs, but in fact, pollution (mostly from animal ag) is costing Americans much, much more. Look at some of these numbers. www.ucs.org/resources/le...

This is big. But not terribly surprising. Who can trust this administration's USDA for data, research, or anything?

BEY03F’s arrival in the mountains of LA county is a win for wildlife, but we are still fighting for protections for wolves. Yesterday @biologicaldiversity.org filed a lawsuit challenging the administration’s failure to develop a nat’l gray wolf recovery plan biologicaldiversity.org/programs/car...

These piglets are very sick ..most probably with the Atypical Porcine Pest Virus (APPV) 💔 FHarmers are cruel people. Why are you still financing this ruthless abuse industry? #EndAnimalExploitation #LiveVegan find your heart 🙏

Chris Jones should be the leader of Democratic agricultural policy. He's following the science.

While the EPA is about to dismantle itself, it's good to know where most of the pesticides in the U.S. are going. This is what is contaminating U.S. waterways, killing biodiversity, and ending up in your drinking water.

A reminder that when this is the week's trending topic, millions of birds will be killed via suffocation to deal with the spread of a virus that is exacerbated by the very conditions in which the birds are forced to live.

PFAS are not the only contaminants contaminating wells and even public water systems. Nitrates, pathogens, and pesticides should all be investigated. The "quietly" part is the EPA doing nothing.

We are often given a false dilemma: Western lands must either become ranches or suburban sprawl. Ranchers benefit from this myth. But there is a 3rd way: conservation. Protecting nature for everyone. www.sfchronicle.com/california/a... from @kurtisalexander.bsky.social @sfchronicle.com

This is a critical piece of journalism. People must start acknowledging that ecosystem collapse will lead to massive threats to human survival. Climate is just one part. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The only way we can fathom treating farmed animals so badly is by pretending that they have no feelings and no intelligence.

Veganism is a better alternative

Very interesting piece. And it also needs to be acknowledged that there are very few legal requirements to dispose of manure properly - and even they are not enforced.
