Nearly 20,000 Cows Burned to Death in a Fire That Could Have Been Prevented

The world lost a staggering number of sweet, charismatic animals in West Texas last week. At least 18,000 cows were burned alive in a tragic barn fire at South Fork Dairy Farm. 

To make matters worse, there is not a single federal regulation that protects animals from fires like this one. No animal deserves to burn alive, and we must fight to increase federal fire protections used for animal agriculture.

Sign now to demand the USDA immediately implement federal fire protection codes for buildings housing animals!

It is no secret that factory farms are terrible for the animals that are raised in them. From depression and violence to illness and disease, cows living in these facilities suffer tremendously from the moment they're born until their last breath. But burning to death while trapped in a fiery hot barn is a new level of suffering, even for such a torturous industry.

We cannot let any more animals die in such a gruesome and painful way. The USDA must finally implement federal fire protection codes to prevent another barn fire like this one from happening again in the future! Sign the petition now if you agree!
