After months of promoting our On-Farm Slaughter campaign in D.C. neither the Vermont delegation nor other members of Congress are willing to spearhead the needed clarification in the Federal Meat Inspection Act that on-farm slaughter is legal at the moment. Our coalition recognizes that the issue is new to many, even to those who are invested in advancing meat processing issues. Together we now approach the campaign with what’s a common ground goal of many - to better protect state meat inspection programs from arbitrary USDA actions.
