In a latest development, Joaquin Phoenix has joined Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF)’s “Report Animal Ag” campaign. It is a whistleblower platform for people working in the meat industry to come forward anonymously and report the abuses they witness at their workplace. The scope of the campaign includes animal cruelty, improper disposal of animals, and worker safety violations.
Joaquin Phoenix is a brilliant actor who is known for his epic performances. He has even received an Academy Award for his 2019 film Joker, which is widely appreciated. Phoenix always takes a stand for animal rights and enjoys immense popularity in the animal rights community for his passionate activism.
“Despite the animal agribusiness industry’s flagrant disregard for worker safety as COVID-19 ravages slaughterhouses, a surge of whistleblowers—under the constant threat of employer retaliation—are coming forward with information about the mass killing of animals and disposal practices that have severe environmental implications,” Joaquin Phoenix shared in a media release.
