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

.@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.

Next time you hear about food insecurity caused by disruptions in global grain markets, think about this.
Cycling grain through animals, which metabolize >90% of it rather than convert to meat, is the most inefficient conceivable use of grain for ultimately creating human food.
From 2010 to 2019 the amount of grain used for animal feed rose from 770m tonnes per year to 987m econ.st/3QQhHAM

TROUBLING: A company in Spain is reportedly planning to open the world’s FIRST octopus factory farm in 2023—where approx. 60,000 octopuses will suffer in tanks & be slaughtered every year 🐙💔
Take action now to stop the octopus farm!: animaljustice.ca/octopusfarm

OPINION: We kill 9.5 billion animals in the United States every year. Behind the death of each one of those animals is someone forced to become numb. trib.al/1y8rKWw

In response to your tireless activism, Yum! Brands has pledged to source 100% cage-free eggs for its global supply chain! This is a huge step towards ending the abuse of animals raised for food, thank you to our supporters who make change possible! thl.link/3mXGEh2

Did you see the news? 👀 Thanks to your activism, three major pizza companies committed to ending the cruelest chickens face in their supply chain.
This decision will spare thousands of chickens from the worst forms of abuse on factory farms, but there's still work to be done.

"In 2015, just 6% of US hens were raised cage-free. Now, 29% are. That’s more than 70 million hens out of cages in just five years –– easily one of the biggest successes of the animal welfare movement."

.@Costco is known for its progressive policies. An undercover investigation by @MercyForAnimals shows that Costco's chickens are living in their own feces, with no fresh air or natural light－certainly not living up to "humane" or "progressive" standards. nyti.ms/3rzGtYi

Dear Science Deniers,
(Anti-vaxers, anti-maskers, climate hoaxers, flat-Earthers, etc)
You found one another & communicate via stupefyingly advanced technologies that pivot on the discoveries of scientists.
Just thought I’d remind you of that fact.
Sincerely,
