Petition: cattle are routinely fed the waste from the floor of commercial chicken houses
Sep 20, 2009
care2 petitionsite actionAlert

 

"Did you know that cattle are routinely fed the waste from the floor of commercial chicken houses? That's feces, feathers, spilled feed, straw, dirt and anything else on the floor under the cramped birds. 

Tell the FDA that we don't want cows eating chicken feces! » 

Chicken farmers have more chicken waste than they know what to do with. And cattle feedlots are always on the lookout for cheap feed. In fact, an estimated one billion pounds of chicken waste are shoveled in front of cattle on feedlots each year. 

The practice of feeding chicken waste to cattle is both disgusting and unsafe. It must end. 

Tell the FDA to stop cattle companies from feeding chicken waste to cows. » "

Thanks for taking action!
