As a result of our investigation, we are calling upon the U.S. government to effectively regulate the transport of farmed animals and adopt a maximum journey time of eight hours.

We are also calling upon the U.S. to adopt internationally-recognized standards such as those put forward by the OIE, a body with 164 member countries recognized by the World Trade Organization as the leading authority on animal health.

Consumers also have the power to end the pain and suffering of farmed animals packed in trucks and driven for hours on end without food or water. The public can make a difference by supporting legislation aimed at regulating farmed animal transport and encouraging grocery stores to purchase only from local producers.

Together, we can stop the driving pain.

Consumers Can Take a Stand

• Encourage retailers to buy only from local producers and/or those that adhere to an eight-hour maximum transport limit.
• Support legislation aimed at regulating farmed animal transport.
• Urge government officials to limit journey times and adopt OIE standards.
• Reduce or eliminate consumption of animal products (Order your "Going Veggie: A Beginners Guide" and get started today.) 
   

Retailers Can Take A Stand
