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!
