Tyson.
Iirc, largest meat supplier. Which means they are a huge catalyst to the industry that literally profits on death and misery more than any other.
Their products are corpses, their human workers are in the industry with the highest rate of PTSD from their jobs, and by simply existing they’re helping create superviruses by fostering cramped sheds of half-dead animals that can barely move sleeping on their own shit and being kept alive just long enough to slaughter, using powerful antibiotics that will become useless a lot faster than if we used those antibiotics to protect humans instead of giving the perfect environment for viruses to adapt to and overcome them.
Fuck the whole animal agriculture industry, and extra fuck the biggest corps behind them.
