Dear John,

Please accept this invitation to join our June 29, 2023, webinar on critical new legislation that has great potential to help—or harm—animals.

Congress is now ramping up for its once-every-five-years legislative ritual to formulate a new Farm Bill. That means NOW is the time for animal advocates to focus on adding key animal protection reforms to this must-pass legislation.

Our webinar will share with you the key provisions we are trying to include, what they will accomplish, and how you can help make a difference for animals. You will hear directly from the expert panel we have assembled to support our goals for the Farm Bill and be able to ask them your questions.

It takes place June 29, 2023, at 8 p.m. ET/ 5 p.m. PT, and is free, thanks to the generous sponsor of this Claudia Miller Ignite Series on Animal Welfare. [[link removed]]REGISTER NOW [[link removed]]

The stakes could not be higher.

*
Animal
fighting.
The
FIGHT
Act
is
a
major
rewrite
and
improvement
of
the
federal
law
against
dogfighting
and
cockfighting,
and
our
proposal
is
so
strong
that
the
cockfighting
lobby
is
mobilizing
nationally
to
defeat
it.
This
Act
will
enable
more
robust
enforcement
actions
to
put
animal-fighters
behind
bars.
*
Horse
slaughter.
The
pipeline
to
Canada
and
Mexico
is
carrying
fewer
horses
than
ever
to
slaughter,
but
it
still
claims
too
many
lives
—
20,000
horses
and
other
equines
a
year.
We
want
to
make
sure
the
Farm
Bill
makes
it
illegal
to
export
live
horses
to
slaughterhouses
in
Canada
and
Mexico.
*
Greyhound
racing.
The
time
has
come
to
close
out
the
era
of
greyhound
racing
in
the
United
States
and
to
prevent
foreign
tracks
from
buying
American
racing
dogs
or
to
simulcast
their
signals
of
greyhound
racing
in
our
massive
market
*
Stopping
the
EATS
Act.
In
May,
the
U.S.
Supreme
Court
affirmed
as
constitutional
California's
law
banning
the
sale
of
pork
that
comes
from
factory
farmers
that
confine
the
sows
so
intensively
that
they
cannot
even
turn
around.
That
means
the
National
Pork
Producers
Council
and
other
Big
Ag
interests
will
now
appeal
to
their
allies
in
Congress
to
nullify
that
state
law
and
perhaps
hundreds
of
other
animal
welfare,
food
safety,
and
conservation
and
environmental
policies
that
touch
agricultural
commerce.
Their
overreaching,
dangerous
legislative
creation
is
called
the
“Exposing
Agriculture
Trade
Suppression
(EATS)
Act.”
We
must
defeat
the
EATS
Act,
denying
Big
Pork
and
other
agribusiness
interests
the
opportunity
to
wipe
out
Prop
12
and
other
critical
state
animal
welfare
laws.
