+Congressman Glenn Thompson, Chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture, is proposing language that would prohibit states from making decisions on agricultural products. This means a state cannot decide to ban the sale of products produced through cruel methods, such as confining hens, mother pigs and calves used for veal inside tiny cages.
The United States’ strongest animal protection law, Proposition 12, and Massachusett’s Question 3—both of which ban the production and sale of products produced in this way—are under threat.
Animals face an uncertain future as Congress considers a Farm Bill that puts the lives of millions of cows, pigs and chickens at risk of extreme suffering.
The proposed language doesn’t stop at animals. By taking away a state’s right to regulate its agricultural products, this version of the Farm Bill also raises concerns regarding child labor, puppy mills, and protection against lead poisoning.
The most basic protections are at risk, but you hold tremendous power. You can give animals a protected future by reaching out to legislators and asking them to reject this language.
