Video: CNN Covers MFA’s Cruelty Investigation at Burger King Cheese Supplier

Nathan Runkle October 20, 2012

HLNCowAbuse.jpgOn Friday, CNN’s Headline News Network’s Jane Velez-Mitchell interviewed MFA’s executive director Nathan Runkle about the recent undercover investigation showing workers at a Burger King dairy supplier criminally beating, shocking and dragging helpless cows.

During this powerful interview, Velez-Mitchell encourages consumers to bear witness to the animal abuse that runs rampant on factory farms and calls on her fellow journalists to step up their coverage of these important issues – especially in light of ag-gag legislation in certain states that seeks to keep animal abuse and other problems at factory farms hidden from public view.

Watch the full interview here:

 

MFA is urging Burger King to immediately adopt meaningful animal welfare guidelines to help prevent some of the worst forms of animal abuse on dairy factory farms. Please go to BurgerKingCruelty.com to sign the petition urging Burger King to require its cheese suppliers to implement meaningful animal welfare standards.

Of course, the most powerful way concerned consumers can help prevent needless violence and cruelty to animals is by ditching dairy in favor of healthy and humane plant-based alternatives to milk, cheese, and ice cream. Visit ChooseVeg.com to learn more.
