Advocates Speak Up for Chicken Farmers as USDA Moves to Repeal Protections
Mercy For Animals is highlighting proposed changes to rules that shield contract chicken farmers from discrimination and deceptive business practices.
Rules designed to protect chicken farmers from discrimination and deceptive business practices are set to be repealed by the USDA, according to reporting shared by Mercy For Animals, an Ecoflix partner.
The protections were intended to give contract farmers greater fairness in their dealings within the poultry industry.
By drawing attention to the proposed repeal, the organisation is helping ensure the concerns of farmers remain part of the public conversation.
