... that after quarterback Joe Montana invested in Crowd Cow, PETA sent him a letter filled with football puns imploring him not to invest in a company that facilitates the slaughtering of animals?
The article notes: "Packing more football terms into a letter than was previously thought possible, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is urging NFL legend Joe Montana to “call an audible” and avoid the “unnecessary roughness” of being a backer of Seattle-based Crowd Cow. ... Montana, the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback, is managing partner of Liquid 2 Ventures, and was part of Crowd Cow’s $2 million funding round in January. ... Wait, no mention of pig skins in there?! Missed opportunity in the pun game."

The user below has a request that an edit be made to Crowd Cow. That user has an actual or apparentconflictofinterest. The requested edits backlog is very high. Please be extremely patient. There are currently 903requests waiting for review.Please read the instructions for the parameters used by this template for accepting and declining them, and review the request below and make the edit if it is wellsourced, neutral, and follows other Wikipediaguidelines and policies. Remember to set the |answered= parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input.
Request: The article's infobox lists Joe Heitzeberg and Ethan Lowry only as "Founder," with no current leadership noted, and the "Number of employees" field is dated 2020. Please add a note to the History section (end of the paragraph describing 2020 growth) and update the infobox:Proposed addition to History section, after the sentence ending "...It grew to 90 employees in mid-2020.[30]":"In February 2023, Elizabeth Liu, the company's vice president of marketing, became CEO, succeeding co-founder Joe Heitzeberg, who moved to chairman of the board. Saba Kalaimani was promoted to chief operating officer.[1] Proposed infobox addition — new "Key people" field: "Elizabeth Liu (CEO), Joe Heitzeberg (Chairman), Saba Kalaimani (COO)" — same citation. I am disclosing a financial conflict of interest per WP:PAID (see my user page). I'm not asking to remove or soften any existing content — only to add this well-sourced, verifiable update. Happy to adjust wording per feedback." JohnCrowdCow (talk) 20:34, 15 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Requested update: recent recognition in meat-delivery buying guides

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. Set |answered=no to reactivate the request if necessary.
Request: The Reception and commentary section's most recent citation is from 2021. Please add a sentence noting more recent third-party recognition: "In more recent buying guides, Crowd Cow has been named the best online meat delivery service for beef by Food & Wine[2] and for restaurant-quality meat by The Spruce Eats,[3] and Fortune named it the best grass-fed meat delivery service.[4]InsideHook[5] and The Manual[6] have also included Crowd Cow among their recommended online meat sources." I am disclosing a financial conflict of interest per WP:PAID (see my user page). Not asking to remove or soften any existing content, including the critical commentary already in this section — only to add this well-sourced update. Happy to trim to fewer citations if preferred.

Not done These sorts of recognitions are arbitrary unless they are an award that itself merits an article(like Nobel Peace Prize or Academy Awards or Grammy Award). If you can summarize specifically why your company was named "the best" by these outlets(such as a review by professional critics employed by these outlets) that would be what we are looking for. 331dot (talk) 10:16, 17 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the specific guidance — here is the actual reasoning behind each pick, not just the "best" label: Food & Wine named Crowd Cow best for beef specifically because it carries seven distinct sources of Wagyu (Australian, American, and five regions of Japan) plus A5-certified Kobe beef, a range the reviewer says other services don't match. The Spruce Eats named it best for restaurant-quality meat specifically because it gives home cooks access to Japanese Wagyu and wild swordfish steaks not typically available through other subscription services. Fortune named it best for grass-fed meat specifically because it offers 100% grass-fed beef alongside pasture-raised and grass-finished options. I've dropped the InsideHook and The Manual mentions, since neither gave a specific stated reason — just your point. I've reactivated the request ({{edit COI}}) for another look; happy to adjust further. JohnCrowdCow (talk) 18:25, 18 September 2026 (UTC)Reply
Just one edit to finish it all. A very clean article with complete references. I suggest you nominate this for GA. Regards, Jeromi Mikhael 15:06, 19 January 2021 (UTC)
