People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
PETA president Ingrid Newkirk sits on the advisory boards of both EarthSave International and United Poultry Concerns. Activists from both groups have collaborated on dozens of organized protests over the years; this apparent collaboration has increased since United poultry Concerns moved from suburban Maryland to southern Virginia, following PETA’s similar geographical move. The two organizations are presently less than 50 miles apart.

Western Organization of Resource Councils
The Western Organization of Resource Councils and United Poultry Concerns are both charter members of the Global Safe Food Alliance, a front group set up by animal-rights organizations like Farm Sanctuary and the Animal Welfare Institute. The coalition’s purpose is to suggest that there is “grass roots” support for a wholesale overhaul in the way farm animals are raised for food; it also tries to connect food safety with “humane” farm animal treatment in the public consciousness. Without exception, the Global Safe Food Alliance’s proposals would increase the cost of food to consumers. Other members include the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy, the Humane Farming Association, the National Catholic Rural Life Conference, the Organic Consumers Association, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, Public Citizen and the Global Resource Action Center for the Environment.
