Απενεργοποίηση για: Αγγλικά  | Gruesome factory farms are pumping animals full of antibiotics, risking vicious new superbugs far more deadly than Covid. But if we push McDonald's to slash antibiotics, it's sheer size could shift the entire industry towards more sustainable farming. McDonald's is deciding right now… so let's stop the next pandemic and help billions of desperate animals -- sign and share! | |

Dear friends, | Coronavirus is nothing compared to the surging threat of superbugs.
Scientists predict that by 2050, 10 million people could die from superbug infections every year -- that's three times more than the number of covid deaths!
Gruesome factory farms are one of the biggest culprits, where overcrowded, desperate animals are fed a constant diet of antibiotics to keep them healthy. It's the perfect playground for pathogens to mutate, multiply, and move into humans.
But we can help, right now.
McDonald's is the world's largest beef purchaser -- and it's deciding new policies for antibiotics right now. If we push McDonald's to ban them, it could then shift the whole industry towards more sustainable farming.
Let's make it happen! There's nothing McDonald's cares about more than its public image -- so if millions of us raise our voices, we could push the meat giant to slash antibiotics and help stop the next superbug pandemic. Sign now and pass this on, fast: |

| Factory farms are all about producing tons of fast, cheap meat -- but it means cattle are raised in toxic conditions, which wouldn't be possible without massive amounts of antibiotics. Already over 70% of the global supply in antibiotics is used on farm animals!
The result is that pathogens can become resistant to treatment, creating vicious superbugs that are immune to even our most powerful antibiotics. Millions could die -- already some 25,000 Europeans die from drug-resistant infections every year.
To protect ourselves, we have to drastically cut the use of antibiotics on farms. This would also force farmers to raise cattle in better, healthier conditions. McDonald's is considering it's antibiotics policy for beef right now, and if millions of us speak up, we could inspire the giant to lead the world.
It's worked before. After massive public demand, McDonald's banned the use of antibiotics for its chickens in 2016, setting off a chain reaction throughout the industry. Now let's do it again! Add your voice and pass this on: | | |
