IMPORTANT: Tell PBS Not to Air Pro-Factory-Farming Propaganda PLEASE FORWARD WIDELY AND WRITE TODAY!
The factory-farming industry, including agribusiness giant Monsanto and the American Farm Bureau (a front group for corporate agriculture), has collaborated with a California public television network to produce a TV series called Americas Heartland. The shows producers claim that they will profile the people, places, and processes of todays agribusiness. But if the shows trailer and the shows predecessor, Californias Heartland, are any indication, Americas Heartland will do its best to mislead viewers about the true nature of the modern meat, egg, and dairy industries. The shows trailer creates the illusion that farmed animals are raised on small, idyllic farms where they are given plenty of space and fresh air. In reality, the vast majority of animals raised for food in the United States suffer immeasurably on huge, industrial factory farms, where they are confined and mutilated before being violently killed. The corporate sponsors of Americas Heartland are very concerned about the growing public outrage surrounding the abuse of animals on modern factory farms. These companies have already shelled out more than a million dollars to produce this show, all in an effort to trick Americans about the way farmed animals are treated. Monsanto and the American Farm Bureau are offering the show to 300 U.S. public television stations this fall. Please politely ask your local public station to refuse to air Americas Heartland and other agribusiness propaganda.
