Ever since the Supreme Court of the United States upheld a commonsense farm animal protection—California's Proposition 12—lobbyists representing only a segment of the pork industry have pushed for a so-called “fix”—a “fix” that is not at all necessary. First they tried it through legislation like the Ending Agriculture Trade Suppression (EATS) Act (S. 2019/H.R. 4417). And now it's clear that their allies in Congress are going to try and use the Farm Bill to implement this “fix.”
The proposed partisan Farm Bill in the U.S. House of Representatives contains language that aims to invalidate Prop 12 and could also wipe out hundreds of other state laws. Animals (and people) need your help to stop the unraveling of even the most basic protections.

Americans from all backgrounds oppose the current attempt to “fix” Prop 12 (a law that does not need fixing) as well as other legislation, like the EATS Act, seeking to nullify state animal protection laws. For many years, we’ve successfully made the case against extreme confinement methods in industrial agribusiness as both cruel to animals and dangerous to human health.
