Target: Brooke Rollins, US Secretary of Agriculture
Goal: Stop condemning billions of chickens to short lives of misery and suffering in factory farms.
The film “Henrietta Finds a Nest,” produced by Mercy For Animals, sheds light on the neglect experienced by countless farmed animals, particularly chickens, in factory farming settings. This touching story of a rescued chicken, Henrietta, who escapes from a life of suffering, highlights the need for urgent change. The film’s purpose is to foster compassion for these animals and rally support against the harsh realities of industrial agriculture, which are reportedly characterized by egregious conditions including overcrowding, deprivation of natural behaviors, and inhumane treatment.
Factory farming practices are responsible for unimaginable suffering endured by billions of farmed animals annually. Allegations of neglect often encompass inadequate living conditions, lack of proper veterinary care, and insufficient shelter from the elements, leading to severe physical and psychological distress. Such practices not only compromise animal welfare but also affect food safety and public health. It is necessary to address these issues head-on and demand accountability from the industries involved.
The current state of factory farming is unacceptable, and the emotional resonance of Henrietta’s story serves as a wake-up call for society. The demand is clear: accountability and justice for the countless animals who suffer in silence must be prioritized to effect meaningful change in modern agriculture.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Secretary Rollins,
The recent release of “Henrietta Finds a Nest” sheds light on the disturbing realities faced by chickens in factory farms. Henrietta’s journey from neglect to safety is a testament to the resilience of farmed animals and a compelling call for change. Birds are subjected to horrific living conditions on factory farms, ranging from overcrowding to deprivation, which are simply unacceptable in a humane society.
As emphasized in the film, the plight of farmed animals should not be ignored. It is disturbing to recognize that, while Henrietta was fortunate enough to escape, billions of birds still suffer in silence under the most severe conditions imaginable.
We urge you to implement reforms to prevent the mass suffering of billions of chickens in factory farms. The time for action is now.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]
