Where does the battle to defeat the treacherous and cruel Save Out Bacon Act stand now? Find out from the man leading the charge against this malevolent proposed legislation. Matt Dominguez, the U.S. Director for Compassion in World Farming, brings us up to date.
While thousands of calls have already been made to legislators by animal loving Americans, the battle is far from over. Powerful forces, including Smithfield, a Chinese-owned pig producer, continue to push for this act which would bring back those torture devices known as PIG GESTATION CRATES. These crates are so small pigs cannot even turn around or scratch themselves. They go insane biting on the bars. It is TORTURE.
California voters voted overwhelmingly to ban those devices when they passed Proposition 12 in 2018! That Prevention of Cruelty to Farm Animals Act banned pig gestation crates and other forms of extreme confinement. Since California is the world’s 4th largest economy, that essentially banned them well beyond California. Now, this cruel industry wants to bring them back! WE MUST STOP IT.

“Hello, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a taxpayer and voter.
"I’m calling to urge Senator [Last Name] to oppose any deal or effort to include the Save Our Bacon Act in the Farm Bill. This dangerous provision is a special-interest power grab and an attack on State's Rights, Animal Welfare, and America's Family Famers.
Will the senator oppose any attempt to include it? I certainly hope so!"
