Stop Faster Poultry Slaughter Line Speeds!

Thank you for joining Legal Impact for Chickens in urging the US Department of Agriculture to abandon the proposed rule that would allow faster poultry slaughterhouse line speeds. See Maximum Line Speed Rates for Young Chicken and Turkey Establishments Operating under the New Poultry Inspection System, Document ID FSIS-2025-0012-0003.

Increased line speeds worsen animal suffering for billions of birds and raise the risk of injuries for slaughterhouse workers already facing dangerously high injury rates.

The more support this “Stop Faster Poultry Slaughter Line Speeds” message gets from citizens, the better. We want the government to know just how much people like you care about birds and workers. We had more than 45 LIC supporters submit comments, going the extra mile to help chickens. Thank you!

Legal Impact for Chickens weighed in by signing comments with a coalition of organizations that also urged USDA to drop the proposed rule. You can read those here:
