Action Alert: Don't Let Congress Undo Animal Laws

When citizens and their state legislatures decide that a practice is
so inhumane that it must not occur within their state's borders, the
federal government shouldn't be able to trump the will of the people.
Yet that's exactly what legislation now under consideration would do.

A small provision - Section 123 - tucked into the pending Farm Bill in
the U.S. House of Representatives would prohibit states and localities
from banning activities they deem to be contrary to public health,
safety and morals. Section 123 would undo bans on horse slaughter,
intensive confinement of pigs and calves raised for veal, force-
feeding of ducks and geese to make foie gras, and other important
laws. It's an outrageous power grab that would undermine the
democratic process and deny citizens the right to pass state or local
laws on issues of humane treatment or food safety.
