Following a tip from a concerned supporter, our Freedom of Information Act request uncovered grim details of the mass culling of 100,000 birds killed with carbon dioxide foam and survivors having their necks broken with a "Koechner Euthanizing Device." The story was published this week in The New York Post.
Before this mass culling, Crescent Duck Farm supplied 4% of America's duck meat while polluting the North Fork area with the unmistakable stench of factory farming.
Animal Outlook is reaching out to Crescent through our Farm Transitions program, offering support to shift from animal agriculture to sustainable crop production, which would create a win for animals, the environment, and the local community. This approach exemplifies our commitment not just to exposing cruelty, but to offering practical solutions for a more compassionate food system.
Thanks to John Di Leonardo of Humane Long Island for sharing local wisdom and connections.
