Mission: Help Keep Cows Out of Holiday Meals—Share This Christmas Ad

Imagine making friends with someone on your walk home from school and forming a close bond. You look forward to seeing them every day, but one day, they’re nowhere to be found—because they’re being loaded onto a truck bound for the slaughterhouse. 😱

Our new Christmas ad shows how cows are super-social animals who remember faces and form strong friendships over time. You may have also seen viral vids of cows enjoying music and stopping what they’re doing to listen. 🥰 But every year, millions of them are hauled to slaughterhouses where workers shoot them in the head with a captive-bolt gun, hang them up by one leg, and cut their throat, often while they’re still conscious. These are the individuals behind every Christmas beef Wellington. 😰
