Last week, Trump's USDA announced plans to significantly increase slaughter line speeds at pork and poultry plants. The meat industry celebrated the news. It was hardly covered, but has enormous implications for hundreds of thousands of workers.

Making high slaughter line speeds permanent will make one of the most dangerous jobs in America even more dangerous, worsen food safety in an industry already plagued with contamination and mass recalls, and cause suffering animals even more pain. 🧵reuters.com/world/us/trump-a…
Not good. Increased line speeds have animal and human welfare consequences. frontiersin.org/journals/vet…
.@SecRollins today announced new actions to reduce burdens on the U.S. pork and poultry industries, allowing for greater efficiency while maintaining food safety standards ➡️ usda.gov/about-usda/news/pre…

EXCLUSIVE: Sentient has learned that the primary federal laboratory for farm animal welfare research has lost its probationary scientists to the Trump administration's mass firings of federal employees. @greylmoran reports:

Exclusive: the USDA’s Farm Animal Welfare Research Lab — With Just One Scientist Remaining — Dismantled by Trump sentientmedia.org/usda-farm-… via @sentient_media
Trump has crippled USDA-ARS research on farm animal welfare. Freezing new hires and terminating probationers reduces LBRU to a single scientist. Now unit is non-sustainable. Disgrace. #FarmAnimalWelfare
My old boss and even older friend. He was a lovely human and we spent 20 years working together for USDA-ARS LBRU. Very sad, and heartbroken for his husband, Mike. Far too young to leave us.

This is a brazen ploy by the pork industry and its paid-for politicians.
They plan to overturn popular state bans on cruel gestation crates for pigs through the byzantine Farm Bill.
They’re really hoping you won’t notice this.
He is correct... and one of the most egregious examples of crony capitalism is the corrupt alliance between the Chinese-owned Smithfield Foods and senators like @SenJoniErnst , who are trying to push through a backhanded deal to FORCE gestation-crated pork back onto states which have already voted to ban it.
Pay attention to the "Farm Bill" they're trying to sneak in through Brooke Rollins - it's a complete f-you to Republican values of states' rights of self determination, it hurts small farmers, and it is terrible for American health.

My latest, for @PostOpinions - "...[T]here’s reason for animal-welfare advocates to be hopeful about some of the people Trump plans to put in his Cabinet — and elsewhere in his administration."
