Act Now to Protect State Laws Benefiting Farmed Animals 

In response to a growing number of state laws requiring improved housing conditions for farmed animals, two controversial bills have been introduced in Congress: the Food Security and Farm Protection Act (S. 1326) and the Save Our Bacon Act (H.R. 4673). These bills seek to nullify state laws that protect animals from some of the cruelest confinement practices, including the use of gestation crates and veal crates. The Save Our Bacon Act was recently included in a version of the Farm Bill advanced by the House Committee on Agriculture. Urge your members of Congress to oppose S. 1326 and H.R. 4673, as well as their inclusion in the Farm Bill or any other legislative packages.
