Sows peer out from gestation crates at an industrial pig farm. These sows live confined inside bare, concrete-floored enclosures large enough only for them to sit, stand and lie down, but they cannot walk or turn around. A concrete wall is their only view.

Act Now to Protect State Laws Benefiting Farmed Animals 

In a shameful response to a growing number of state laws requiring improved housing conditions for farmed animals, two 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 is included in the House-passed Farm Bill, a massive legislative package that serves as a key driver of food and agriculture policy in the United States. Urge your senators to oppose S. 1326 and fight to remove the Save Our Bacon Act language from the Farm Bill.
