Help Stop Sheep Exploitation for the Profit of the Dairy Industry by Cornell University and SUNY Cortland: NSF Officers

This is one part of 3 total email actions for the campaign. These letters will be sent directly to Joseph McFadden.



The official campaign website with more information can be found here:

SUNY Cortland and Cornell University have received a million-dollar fund from the National Science Foundation to experiment on sheep. The purpose of these experiments is to test whether or not a rise in the lipid ceramide can spike insulin resistance and increase milk production and increase the nutrient density in milk. The proposed benefits are to increase efficiency in milk production. The study is headed by the Associate Professor of Dairy Cattle Biology in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Cornell University, Joseph McFadden (who has personal ties to the dairy industry) as well as the Assistant Director of Biological Sciences at SUNY Cortland, Amanda Davis. Our goal as a campaign is to stop these experiments from continuing by either pressuring the investigators to stop or pressuring the National Science Foundation to drop their funding.

Make your voice heard for these sheep and fight against their exploitation!
