It's no secret that large-scale meat production and processing typically come at the expense of animal welfare, food safety, and worker protections—and now, the Trump administration is aiming to ramp up production by deregulating the industry further. Specifically, they've proposed increasing line speeds, which will allow facilities to kill 25% more poultry per minute and as many pigs as they want per hour.

This isn't just brutal for the animals, more dangerous for the workers, and worse for quality insurance—it will lead to greater water use, water pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions.
