Breaking: LIC is suing California’s largest poultry producer for cruelty. Our complaint accuses Foster Farms of crushing chickens with forklifts, forcing birds to live among the maggot-covered corpses of their dead flockmates, and kicking and throwing animals. legalimpactforchickens.org/foster-farms

URGENT: Call your Senators NOW! 🇺🇸 Ask them to OPPOSE any Farm Bill that contains the cruel "Save our Bacon Act." The SOB Act would force mother pigs BACK into gestation crates & feeding tubes BACK down ducks' throats.

Slaughterhouse lines move too fast already! Thank you to the 45+ LIC supporters who urged USDA to abandon the proposed poultry slaughter rate increase! ❤️ www.legalimpactforchickens.org/blog/stop-fa...

Tell USDA that slaughter lines are fast enough! Submit a comment to urge them to reject proposed rules that would allow faster poultry slaughterhouse line speeds, which worsen animal suffering for billions of birds and raise the risk of injuries for slaughterhouse workers. bit.ly/line-speed-comment

Do what you say you will. JBS just agreed to pay $1.1 million to settle a lawsuit for allegedly making a public net-zero-beef commitment that it had no plans to meet. Moral: If a company publicly commits to do something, the company MUST make a plan to actually DO it. @newyorkstateag.bsky.social

Thank you so much to Caru SPCA and its @animallegaldefense.bsky.social attorneys for their detailed amicus brief to support LIC’s position in LIC v. Alexandre!

Yesterday, LIC filed an answer to a group of ag-industry and bull-riding entities who weighed in on our Alexandre case. LIC explained that the superior court’s ruling leaves “lawful operators” unaffected, while creating an opportunity to address “Alexandre’s unlawful practices.”

Today, our client, a Tyson shareholder, filed a lawsuit demanding the company release records of its treatment of workers and animals. legalimpactforchickens.org/tyson
