Alexandre Caru Amicus — Legal Impact for Chickens

Legal Impact for Chickens @chickenslegal.bsky.social · Sep 5

"While enforcing laws relating to animals is an issue of public interest, the legal issue raised by the trial court’s ruling and presented by the petition has already been addressed by an appellate court, so there is no significant issue of law raised here."

Yesterday, LIC filed an answer to a group of ag-industry and bull-riding entities who weighed in on our Alexandre case. LIC explained that the superior court’s ruling leaves “lawful operators” unaffected, while creating an opportunity to address “Alexandre’s unlawful practices.”

Instead, the Trump administration is bowing to the chicken-meat lobby’s fear that some foreign meat buyers might object to the preventative veterinary care.

Humane housing did not erase 160 million birds. A virus did.

Legal Impact for Chickens @chickenslegal.bsky.social · Jul 23

Other poultry-producing nations manage the same virus with standard veterinary procedures developed to prevent bird flu. But the federal government won’t allow U.S. egg producers to give their birds the veterinary care needed to prevent this virus.

Legal Impact for Chickens @chickenslegal.bsky.social · Jul 23

Since early 2022, a lethal strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza has ripped through U.S. flocks, forcing the death of 160 million birds, mostly hens used for eggs. That’s why we’ve seen egg price spikes.

Case Farms — Legal Impact for Chickens

Legal Impact for Chickens @chickenslegal.bsky.social · Jul 10

Thank you to co-counsel Animal Outlook for uncovering this company's cruelty.

www.legalimpactforchickens.org/case-farms

Legal Impact for Chickens @chickenslegal.bsky.social · Jul 10

In its response to LIC’s state supreme court petition, Case Farms argues that “[t]he subject matter of this appeal”—that is, the treatment of Case Farms’s chickens—“does not involve matters of significant public interest.” We couldn't disagree more.

Legal Impact for Chickens @chickenslegal.bsky.social · Jul 10

Case Farms is discouraging the NC Supreme Court from taking LIC's cruelty case.
