Friend,
A segment of the pork industry and their lobbyists are going to extremes to trap animals in terrible conditions, and it is DISTURBING. Right now, they and their allies in Congress are trying to use the Farm Bill to nullify California’s Prop 12—our nation's strongest farm animal welfare law. But that’s not all that’s at risk. If they get their way, hundreds of other state and local laws not only relating to animal welfare, but also how states set standards for disease and quarantine control, toxic materials and more could be wiped out.
We must ramp up our efforts to keep this dangerous language out of the Farm Bill before it’s too late, but right now we’re falling short of our must-hit $30,000 end-of-quarter goal. Will you help us close the gap by making a gift of $20 or more to the Humane Society Legislative Fund now—before our June 30 deadline—so we can protect vulnerable animals and people from exploitative industries and more?
Not enough people know how dangerous this attempt to nullify Prop 12 through the Farm Bill is. If successful, key parts of Prop 12 and other state animal welfare laws that restrict products produced with cruel and extreme confinement could be obliterated. It also opens the door for greedy industries to cut corners and sell products like baby food with arsenic and meat produced using exploited children in life-threatening industry jobs!
HSLF is fiercely fighting to make sure the partisan version of the Farm Bill does not advance any further, but we’re up against well-paid industry lobbyists and a critical end-of-quarter deadline. Please, if this partisan version of the Farm Bill becomes law, it could be too late: Make a gift to HSLF now—before midnight on June 30—to help fight back and protect animals from suffering and exploitation.
