Writers Wanted: Help Veterinarians Challenge Industry Power and Shape the Future of Food
Veterinarians are uniquely positioned to speak truth to power. Their professional credibility is a powerful tool—one that can be used to dismantle public trust in animal-based protein production and animal experimentation. We’ve found that major media outlets are highly receptive to publishing op-eds by vets, but many professionals are simply too overworked or lack the specific training in op-ed writing to make their voices heard.
That’s where you come in. Join Our Ghostwriting Team.
We are building a dedicated pool of ghostwriters to partner with veterinarians, helping them craft and submit compelling op-eds to major media outlets. If you have a background in persuasive writing, advocacy, or developing messaging that cuts through the noise, we want you to help us amplify animal-free ideas on a national scale.
Your work will focus on topics that align with our strategic plan, using objective, professional language grounded in scientific data, logic, morals, or ethics. We especially value pieces that resonate with conservative principles like honor, responsibility, freedom, and liberty, while strictly avoiding speciesism or xenophobia. Every fact presented must be supported by linked sources to peer-reviewed scientific articles or reputable news sources.
Mastering the Strategic Message to effectively challenge the industry, we must be strategic about the language we use. Our goal is to expose how the corporate animal industry operates and compel public anger at their methods.
Key Language Shifts:
Instead of...Use..."Go Vegan""support animal-free food production," or "support access to animal-free meals""more humane""less cruel""factory farming""modern intensive animal-based protein production""vegan," "plant-based," "plant forward""animal-free," "slaughter-free," or "slaughter-less"
The Core Focus:
We shift the argument away from focusing on animal suffering and cruelty. Instead, we highlight that:
Exploiting any sentient being for profit is inherently wrong, even with high welfare standards.
This industry perpetuates a global arms race against viruses of pandemic potential, threatening public health and security.
The animal-based industry forces taxpayers to fund their operations. For example, 73% of dairy revenue comes from some form of subsidy, costing taxpayers $38 billion a year to prop up antiquated production methods.
The key is to foster anger at corporations and dismantle public trust in animal-based methods of protein production.Compensation Details
We pay based on the confirmed publication tier of the op-ed. All drafts must be approved by us before submission to qualify for compensation. We will provide support for editing, pitching, and coordinating with the veterinarian author whose name and credentials will lend credibility to the piece.
