Brazil's JBS Accused Of Buying Cattle Illegally Raised In Indigenous Lands [1]
"SAO PAULO - JBS, the world's largest meat company, has indirectly bought cattle raised illegally on indigenous land in Brazil, according to a Greenpeace investigation released on Thursday.
The animals allegedly bought by the beef giant were reared originally in the Amazonian Pequizal do Naruvôtu indigenous territory and later were "indirectly supplied [to] JBS meatpacking plants authorized to export to the European Union, Asia, and the Americas," according to the activist group.
Greenpeace said the investigation found that between 2018 and 2025, farmer Mauro Fernando Schaedler transferred at least 1,238 animals from one of his farms that overlap with the indigenous land to another property free of irregularities. Greenpeace said that this second farm, which has a clean record, sold animals to JBS."
