  Farm Sanctuary - In The News
Watkins Glen, NY – July 13, 2006 – Farm Sanctuary, the nation’s leading farm animal protection organization, has called upon the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) to fully investigate and implement disciplinary measures against any and all TDA employees responsible for the deaths of approximately150 pigs at a TDA facility in Brownsville, Texas.
As part of its demands, Farm Sanctuary has requested that the TDA establish a written protocol, developed with the assistance of local animal control agencies and animal welfare experts, for the humane treatment of livestock at their facilities.
Additionally, in a separate letter to the Cameron County and District Attorney, Farm Sanctuary has requested that at least 150 animal cruelty charges—one for each of the pigs’ deaths—be filed against those responsible for the protracted suffering and deaths of the pigs at the TDA’s Brownsville holding pen.
