Dear John,

A dangerous assault is underway in our nation. Congress is jeopardizing both the welfare of innocent animals and the autonomy of our states. We need your help to stop it.

The so-called Save Our Bacon Act, like the EATS Act from last Congress, is devastating legislation threatening to obliterate laws like California's Proposition 12—a law passed by voters to ban the extreme confinement of animals.

This is more than an attack on animals. This is a blatant assault on each state's right to set its own standards and a violation of the democratic will of the people. It represents a shocking overreach by Congress.

If they succeed, they may pave the way to overturning other state-level protections that we all cherish.

We cannot stand by and watch Proposition 12's vital progress be undone. This legislation, and the similar language embedded in the House version of the 2024 Farm Bill, could perpetuate cruel systems such as gestation crates—cages so small that an animal cannot even turn around. This is far beyond a policy debate. It's a profound moral failure.

Your voice has the power to stop this atrocity.

We urge you to take immediate action by contacting your representatives. Insist that they oppose the Save Our Bacon Act or any language like it. Let them know that you will not back down while lawmakers disregard the will of the people and compromise the well-being of animals.

Our collective future, and the future of millions of animals, depends on your urgent action today.
