Big banks have been funding animal cruelty and torture for
years. It's time for a change.

Chickens inhumanely bred grow to painful and unnatural
sizes to the point that they cannot even stand, their legs crumpling beneath
them. But the larger the chicken, the bigger the profit. Cows forced to
consume high-calorie foods like corn and soy instead of slowly, leisurely
grazing on grass suffer from ulcers, sores, and abscesses. But the larger
the cow, the bigger the profit. Pigs stuffed into pens so tight that they
will never know free movement a day in their life accidentally trample each
other. But the larger the number of pigs, the bigger the profit. Suffering
was written into the very structure of factory farming. It is not only
unconscionably cruel — it is unsustainable.
Big banks have been bankrolling factory farms from the
start, knowing that if they funnel their undepletable funds all into one
part of the industry, they will have total control over the market. Since
2010, World Bank's IFC has pumped almost two billion dollars into the
factory farm industrial complex. Imagine the suffering that could have been
avoided if that money went to humane, compassionate farming efforts instead.
Beyond the cruelty, factory farming is one of the top contributors to carbon
emissions and it sets a horrifying standard for human treatment of animals —
something that has directly led to the pandemic we find ourselves in today.
We need the big players to get on the right side of history. Sign now and
demand that IFC divest from factory farming, and invest in humane,
sustainable practices...and our future!
Thank you,

P.S. Factory farming is a huge contributor to climate
change, the spread of zoonotic diseases, and immeasurable cruelty. Tell big
banks to stop funding it now.
