KEEP DANGEROUS LANGUAGE OUT OF THE FARM BILL

U.S. Congress is quickly advancing a Farm Bill that threatens decades of animal protection laws. Your voice for animals is urgent and can help safeguard these crucial protections.

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 Farm Bill comes around once every five years. It gives Congress the opportunity to improve our food system and the lives of animals. The House and the Senate have the opportunity to present their versions of the Farm Bill. In the House, Agriculture Committee Chair GT Thompson recently shared his intention to pass a version that could put animals and humans at risk.

What would the current Farm Bill allow?

  • Pregnant pigs would be forced back into cages so small they couldn’t even turn around or take more than a step forward or backward.
  • Hens would be confined inside so-called ‘battery cages,’ which allows them no more than a living space the size of a sheet of paper.
  • Newborn calves will live a life chained behind metal bars to prevent them from moving and keep their flesh lean for veal.

It took decades to pass laws that provide even the most basic protections to some farmed animals. Now, Congress is trying to erase that progress to prioritize meat and dairy profits, but we will not let it happen.
