Urgent Action Needed
Speak up for Farm Animals: Tell the USDA that Factory Farming isn’t "Natural" Living cramped in a cage or crate without fresh air, sunlight or freedom of movement doesn’t sound very natural does it? Yet, earlier this year the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) approved a voluntary standard that allows producers to put a “naturally raised” label on meat and meat products from animals raised in this manner. WSPA opposed this label standard from the start and is now asking concerned consumers to let the USDA know that such a standard for “naturally raised” meat is misleading and inconsistent with public perception of the term. Tell the USDA factory farming isn't "natural".

 Ask McDonald's to take a stand against cloned animals
WSPA is supporting a campaign by our member society, the American Anti-Vivisection Society (AAVS), to keep meat and milk products from cloned animals out of the food supply. It would be a major victory for animals if McDonald's, one of the world's most well-known brands, refused to buy meat or dairy products from cloned animals or their offspring. Join us in asking the president of McDonald's to be a leader in the food industry by making a public pledge that cloned animals and their offspring will never be a part of McDonald's menu.
