Another legal loss for Smithfield!

A DC court just rejected Smithfield’s attempt to dismiss a case over its continued use of gestation crates (while telling consumers it had moved to “group housing”).

The case now goes to discovery. Could it be the next #smithfieldtrial?

We’re suing Smithfield for misleading people about how they treat their pigs. Smithfield tried and failed to get our lawsuit dismissed. https://t.co/klwnlPeRkU

The public deserves to know the whole truth about animal welfare at Smithfield Foods, and our lawsuit intends to hold the company accountable. https://t.co/C4vVonizOR

@martinmacmahon @NEWS1130 Same boat, I need to travel as my visa to stay runs out, I would happily pay, and I definitely wouldn’t seek a third if it interferes with anyone getting their first or second.

"This agricultural support damages people’s health, fuels the climate crisis, destroys nature and drives inequality by excluding smallholder farmers, many of whom are women, according to the UN agencies."

According to the new IPCC report, the carbon budget that gives us the best odds of staying below 1,5°C runs out in less than 5 and a half years at our current emissions rate. Maybe someone should ask the people in power how they plan to “solve” that?

[ABC News @abcnews]

The latest @IPCC_CH report says global warming is likely to increase to 1.5 degrees by 2030, bringing more heatwaves, droughts and flooding. Its vice chair @ProfMarkHowden tells @bevvo14 it confirms a disturbing trend highlighted in previous reports... #TheWorld

It is our hope that rather than continuing frivolous lawsuits and wasting money, the meat industry will focus on eliminating the cruel caging of animals. https://t.co/fvUax0Xp4Y
