URGENT: Tell Your Senators to Reject the House Farm Bill

The House Farm Bill passed the House of Representatives, and it now heads to the Senate for consideration.

The Farm Bill is a multi-year law that governs an array of agricultural, food, and conservation programs, and provides lawmakers an opportunity to address agricultural issues, including ones related to animal welfare.

Unfortunately, the House-passed legislation contains multiple provisions that endanger animals, undermine states’ rights, and threaten public health, including overturning California’s Proposition 12 and similar state measures enacted to protect animals from extreme confinement. This sweeping preemption could jeopardize years of hard-won state-level protections for farmed animals and undermine protections for other animals as well. If enacted, the bill would also allow federal funds to support mink fur farming.
