BOX 160-202 Farm Animal Welfare, 1973-1998
Documentation of Spira’s campaigns to encourage major food animal companies and consumers to replace, reduce, or refine their use of animals as food products. The idea of replacement and reduction of animals is evidenced most through Animal Rights International’s non-violent food campaign, including its promotion of a vegetarian lifestyle. These files contain a large number of advertisements and research regarding the health benefits of a meatless diet. The majority of the series, however, focuses on encouraging companies to refine their practices to eliminate unnecessary suffering, specifically with regard to how food animals are slaughtered, transported, and housed. The Perdue Farms campaign is the most documented of these efforts and includes files relating to the living conditions and treatment of Perdue’s chickens, advertisements emphasizing the company’s exploitation of workers, and materials relating to the company’s president and CEO, Frank Perdue. Other corporations Spira targeted as part of his farm animal welfare campaigns include McDonald’s Corporation, Kentucky Fried Chicken Corporation, PepsiCo, Inc., and John Morrell & Co. Extensive research files within the series include legislation, regulations, and standards in the farming industry, both domestically and internationally. Other topics represented throughout the series include the face branding of cattle imported from Mexico, the development of a euthenics program at Texas A & M University in collaboration with Ralston Purina, and the work of Temple Grandin.
Correspondence, notes, newspaper clippings, planning files, advertisements, drafts, surveys, reports, photographs, fact sheets, and newsletters.
