Learn about the Animal Legal Defense Fund's lawsuit against Foster Farms, operator of California's largest factory farm, for its illegal use of vast quantities of water in violation of the California Constitution.
Foster Farms is Livingston’s largest water customer, accounting for more than 60% of the city’s water usage. It consumes approximately four million gallons of water each day, even though scientists say the region is in the midst of a megadrought and water use — including by residents — is otherwise restricted.
ALDF Staff Attorney Christine Ball-Blakely will be presenting.
