There are currently no federal laws protecting farmed animals from abuse or cruelty. The only protections these sentient creatures have depend on state-level legislation.
Now, a new proposed bill -- the Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression Act -- would be a massive blow to hundreds of state laws which protect animal welfare. And, to make matters worse, this could indirectly harm humans, too. The bill would make it harder to protect humans from transmission of zoonotic diseases in animal agriculture, endangering human and animal lives.
Sign now to tell Congress: protect animal safety and reject this old fashioned, terrifying act!
Congress should be passing laws that increase animal welfare, and add protections at the federal level, not ones that literally roll back existing state protections.
But Republicans want to live in a world where we have zero standards for animal welfare or food safety. And we have to stop them from letting their dangerous ideas become reality.
Congress must stand up and protect animals and say no to the Republican-backed Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression Act! Sign the petition now if you agree!
