Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.
Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.
Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.
The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.
Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at senate.gov and house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.

The UK Parliament just banned the live export trade for farmed mammals!
Thousands of advocates campaigned for this reform for decades. This is a win for compassion and persistence.

Washington state just passed the nation's first ban on octopus farming!
To most people, octopuses inspire awe and wonder. To factory farmers, they inspire greed and cruelty.
It's the 21st Century. We know enough to know we shouldn't factory farm new species.

Just obscene. It's almost 2024, for goodness sake. What is it going to take for NYC city officials to wake up and ban horse carriages already? #EnoughIsEnough
BREAKING: Another carriage horse ran wild and crashed in traffic - this time on the West Side Highway!
We don’t know the condition of the horse yet but we do know this cruelty and public safety nightmare needs to end. @@NYCSpeakerAdams @Lynn4NYC @galeabrewer @JustinBrannan
I was grateful that Oscar and Emma Maeyer, two inspiring THL supporters (and siblings!) on a bicycle odyssey from Berlin to Cape Town, asked me to share my thoughts about @TheHumaneLeague. trycycleafrica.com/post/inte…
I'm hiring someone to help me grow an important segment of @TheHumaneLeague's donor base. I find working at THL to be high-impact and donor relations to be meaningful work. Please DM if questions!

#LidlChickenScandal End your use of fast-growing chickens who are bred to suffer and commit to the Better Chicken Commitment teapawt.net/humaneleagueuk/status/… @LidlGB
Lidl’s having a little trouble telling the truth about what happens on its chicken farms, so we created an ad to give its marketing team a helping hand…
Demand an end to the @LidlGB chicken scandal today: thl.link/lidl-scandal #LidlChickenScandal

Companies around the globe are doing the right thing and eliminating the use of cruel battery cages—except for international restaurant chain @Jollibee. #JollibeeMisery

Happy to make it many years past this, with #47 today. I've been feeling engaged in the world and grateful to have you good people in my life. And I'm raising funds today for my favorite org, @thehumaneleague. Thank you! bit.ly/jonturns47

🚨 Breaking News 🚨 The US Supreme Court just UPHELD California’s Prop 12, the nation's strongest farmed animal welfare law 🎉 The decision is being further reviewed by our legal counsel and team, and we'll continue to share updates—visit thehumaneleague.org/article/… for more info.
.@HyVee made a promise to its customers to have a plan to switch to cage-free eggs by 2022. It's 2023 and now there's no trace of that promise on its website, and no response to inquiries about it. What is Hy-Vee hiding? HyVeeEggsposed.com @HyveeArena @INDYCARatIowa
Many global hotels are reporting cage-free progress for all their brands. Why can't @ihghotels and its brands @hotelindigo @interconhotels @Kimpton @regenthotels @Sixsenses #StaybridgeSuites @VignetteHotels @vocohotels etc. do the same? #ExperienceIHG IHGEggsposed.com
Egg-laying hens who live in cages suffer miserable in an area the size of an iPad for their whole lives. Would you like to live in that? It's time to reinstate your cage-free policy and publicly report the status of your transition. @HyveeArena youtu.be/iwwYgghoQl0
Congrats, Hy-Vee on...oh wait, all you did was make a promise to your customers and then go silent about it. Nvm...I don't congratulate companies that make animal welfare commitments and hide if they've followed through! @HyveeArena @INDYCARatIowa HyVeeEggsposed.com
I've got no love for a company that keeps its customers in the dark. @HyVee, you got love & attention for your cage-free egg commitment, but now it's gone from your site. Are you ghosting your customers or something? @HyveeArena @INDYCARatIowa youtu.be/iwwYgghoQl0
I bet Andy Reid earns the respect of his players by following through on his promises—unlike @Hyvee. Was your commitment to have a plan to source cage-free eggs by 2022 just a trick play? Why do you refuse share your progress? HyVeeEggsposed.com @HyveeArena @INDYCARatIowa

It was a joy to hear @jonrcamp present to @EffectvAltruism Chicago about @TheHumaneLeague’s important work & how each of can help end the abuse of animals raised for food. 🐔🐷🐮
Great to see @GrossmontEDU & @menlocollege students stand up against @Sodexo_Live @SodexoGroup @SodexoUSA - campus foodservice providers should not support animal cruelty! cc: @sophiebellon @belen_mp #Prop12 #SwindledbySodexo
Attention @vttech and @VSC_edu - your foodservice provider @Sodexo_Live (@SodexoUSA) supports the cruel, outlawed practice of caging animals #SwindledBySodexo cc: @anne_bardot @nbellonszabo

.@PeterSinger is the single-most influential intellectual figure in my life, and perhaps the most important philosopher of our generation. Honored to have his support today, one week before I face a trial that could change my life forever.
The renowned philosopher @PeterSinger is speaking out today to defend the right to rescue -- just one week before the #SmithfieldTrial begins in Utah. Please help us spread the word.
