As hurricanes bash us, HSUS is on the ground helping rescue animals in need, including of course dogs and cats, and also teaming up with the National Guard to airdrop hay to stranded and starving cows.
With monster hurricanes, record heatwaves, and parts of the nation literally on fire, many are wondering what they can do to help the climate. Of course, one of the easiest things to do is simply eat less meat. And that’s what HSUS is helping major food service companies do right now. You may remember that just two weeks ago HSUS and Aramark announced a groundbreaking new partnership to promote plant-based meals. Well, yesterday HSUS announced a plant-strong program with another foodservice giant, Compass Group. Read all about it!
Another potential solution in the years to come may be simply to produce clean meat—real meat without animals. You’ve likely heard of the big names in the clean meat world, but do you know where many of them started? CNBC gives you a behind-the-scenes tour of the incubator whose companies are growing real meat without the animals.
Finally, you already know about the groundbreaking ballot measure in California to crack down on factory farming. Well, just yesterday we filed a similar campaign in Ohio to combat puppy mills!
