Pig Business on Capitol Hill


Pig Business and the Center for Food Safety co-hosted a first US screening and panel discussion in collaboration with Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) at the Capitol Visitors Center, Washington DC, 9th March 2011. The goal of this screening and platform for debate was to raise awareness about harms caused to human health, animals, livelihoods, and the environment due to practices of industrial pig farming, including highlighting the global linkages of the pig industry. We also aimed to strengthen existing and future campaigns and new legislation aimed at ending Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs).

  1. I can’t believe that the lady introducing Dennis Kucinich was giggling when she warned the audience that they better eat before watching the film.
    WTF!!!! wtf
    if they’re trying to help the animals and the world, they should see the movie and then eat so the reality sinks in…..
