Ever since the Supreme Court of the United States upheld a commonsense farm animal protection—California's Proposition 12—lobbyists representing only a segment of the pork industry have pushed for a so-called “fix”—a “fix” that is not at all necessary. In the 118th Congress, they tried it through legislation like the Ending Agriculture Trade Suppression (EATS) Act and Section 12007 of the Farm, Food, and National Security Act. For the current 119th Congress, it’s now the Food Security and Farm Protection Act (S. 1326) which while a different name is identical in bill language to the EATS Act.
Whatever name it takes, this language aims to invalidate Prop 12 and could also wipe out thousands of other state laws. Animals (and people) need your help to stop the unraveling of even the most basic protections.

Americans from all backgrounds oppose the current attempt to “fix” Prop 12 (a law that does not need fixing) as well as other legislation, like the Food Security and Farm Protection Act (S. 1326), seeking to nullify state animal protection laws. For many years, we’ve successfully made the case against extreme confinement methods in industrial agribusiness as both cruel to animals and dangerous to human health.
