Human Rights are protected by law.

Why aren't animals given the same protections?

Doesn't every being deserve equal & fair treatment, basic rights & a chance to live in peace?

Do you agree?

Then speak up. Sign petitions for those who can't.

GAP sends independent certifiers for audits to farms after 15 months.


For Animal safety: is it reasonable to only check in after 15 months?

Since GAP likes to ‘reward improvement’, why not increase audit frequency and reward farms that follow the rules instead?

Not long ago I said I was (still am) waiting for billionaires to buy land & save animals or millionaires buying up farms to take care of animals.

Great.

Thanks Ricky (he def saw my post).

Now still waiting for other billionaires and millionaires to join in.

No audit for 15 months give farms time for cover ups.

Farms *may* only get an investigation if someone files a complaint with solid proof.

Enforcement leans on complaints instead of certifiers.

So who’s doing the job here?

If you think setting fire to another living being is okay,

Get help.

To be clear:

Anything that can't be done to humans,

Shouldn't be done to animals.

This isn't tradition. It's abuse and it needs to end.

Sign the petition, end cruelty!!!

How GAP performs audits:

1) Farm files application
2) GAP sends independent certifier to farm announced
3) Certifier performs audit
4) Rating is assigned
5) Next announced audit in 15 months.

What's the point of audits if they are announced & are they reliable?

Here’s why it matters if food labels aren’t independent from retailers:


Humane Washing tactics trick shoppers into believing they're making compassionate choices.

Shoppers then may unknowingly support products with even worse animal suffering.

There’s a reason so many 'Animal Welfare' labels get slapped with lawsuits.

Most consumers trust labels as proof for humane treatment.

Meanwhile, labels mislead consumers and often with the worst crime of all:

Cruelty against those who can't speak up for themselves.

We need a plant-based food system:

In a study asking 200 leading climate & food-system scientists (1/2 IPCC authors), livestock GHGs & herd sizes must peak now & fall ~60% by 2036

85% agreed that major shifts plant-based are essential, esp in rich countries

Did you know?

Even when GAP-certified products are sold outside Whole Foods stores, 

Whole Foods (=GAP’s founder) may still influence GAP via history & board seats.

Shouldn’t certification labels be separated from retailers who benefit financially?

Starting a physical business, even a nonprofit, requires funding.



- GAP was initiated by Whole Foods. 



- GAP claims independence from Whole Foods.



How independent were they in the early days?



Where did GAP get their funding for early operations?

GAP's website says there are 5 steps to get farms GAP certified.



It also says that GAP uses independent, third-party certifiers to audit their comprehensive standards.

Here’s why it’s important for food labels to be 100% independent from stores:



- Labels need to be unbiased to be reliable

- They shouldn’t be afraid to hold farmers accountable

- Labels shouldn’t benefits from financial ties

GAP's Certification process:








- Farm submits application 




- Farm prepares for the audit


- Audit takes place




- Standards are maintained until the next announced audit after 15 months.







Sound trustworthy to you?

People often avoid uncomfortable truths in how they consume, work, shop and live.

But denial doesn’t make them less real.

Facing truths unlock more compassionate choices in business, consumption and life.

Maybe one day we’ll all be ready to see that. 🌱
