💕Spay Neuter Rescue Adopt🐕🌎 One Health 🌍 Prevent the next pandemic 🐮Compassion for all🐣🐷🐮 I don't eat my patients.
I drive by this facility about once a month, and every time I see something horrible. We've filed complaints with Kern County Animal Services regarding animal welfare concerns and with the water board regarding bodies being dumped. So far, nothing has changed.

I'm so disturbed that we don't have better resources and a safety net for humans and animals. I did my best to respond to this tragic story. Let me know if you think I should have said anything better or different for this story.

The animal-based protein corporations, feed crop corporations and pharmaceutical industry want to prevent business innovation and deny consumers the choice to consume protein produced in alignment with their values.

I was kettled, detained, and loaded onto a bus with dozens of others — all while trying to document what was happening.
