HR 4733 & HR 4870
Print This Post
There are two federal bills currently pending in Congress:
The Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act (HR 4733) would prohibit the government from using taxpayer dollars to purchase animal products from animals raised in veal crates, gestation crates and battery cages – three cruel factory farm confinement systems that deny animals enough room to turn around, lie down comfortably or fully extend their limbs or even one wing. [...]
The Healthy School Meals Act (HR 4870) would provide financial incentives to school districts that offer plant-based food and non-dairy beverage options to their students. This law would have a tremendous impact on the lives of animals, the environment and human health by educating students on the sweeping benefits of a plant-based diet.
Treatment of pigs on industrial farms is compleatly unacceptable. It should never come to this. It needs to stop today…their pain never stops.
