ADVOCACY: HELP PASS LAWS THAT WILL PROTECT FARM ANIMALS
 |
Downed Animal and Food Safety Protection Act
Animals who are destined for slaughter and are too ill or injured to walk may go “down” while en route to slaughter plants. This humane legislation would prohibit the approval of “downed” animals' meat for human consumption and would also require the fallen animals to have immediate humane euthanasia. |
 |
Horse Slaughter Prevention Act
This bill would prohibit the transport, moving, delivering, receiving, possessing, purchasing, selling or donating of any horse to be slaughtered for human consumption. |
 |
The Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act
The agriculture industry uses antibiotics to compensate for the inadequate care of the animals they raise, causing human beings to consume antibiotics in the food they eat. This humane legislation would phase out the common practice of feeding animals mass quantities of antibiotics. |
