Help Protect Vulnerable Farmed Animals During Transport!

Each year, millions of farmed animals are subjected to long, grueling journeys across the US. Their only source of federal protection from stress and suffering on these trips is the Twenty-Eight Hour Law, which prohibits the transport of certain animals for more than 28 hours without offloading them for food, water, and rest. Unfortunately, the federal government fails to adequately enforce this statute. As a result, many vulnerable farmed animals continue to suffer in packed trucks during cross-country journeys. Please urge your representative to cosponsor the Humane Transport of Farmed Animals Act (H.R. 5286) to increase enforcement of the Twenty-Eight Hour Law and prohibit the transport of vulnerable animals who are unable to withstand long trips.
