PHOTO SHOWN is The horrible gestation crates that female pigs are kept in due to the profit motivated meat industry. Four states have outlawed it as cruelty. You can help them by participating in our outreach efforts. To get active with
your voice and any of the following current animal welfare legislation contact your political representatives listed below: H.R. 2492, the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, would make attendance at an animal fight as a spectator a
federal misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in prison. Spectators fund
such fights and are often do g fighters themselves. H.R. 835, the Puppy Uniform Protection and Safety Act, would require all commercial breeders who sell more than 50 dogs a year to the public to be federally licensed and inspected regularly. The legislation primarily aims to improve conditions at "puppy mills," commercial breeding operations that value profits and output over quality of life and breeding. S. 1281, the Horse Transportation Safety Act, would
prohibit the transport of horses (usually to slaughter) in double-decker
vehicles designed for cows and pigs. H.R. 1513, the Great Ape Protection and Cost Savings Act, would prohibit invasive research on chimpanzees and retire the 500 federally owned chimps, currently living in cages, to sanctuaries. Nine countries and the European Union already forbid or restrict invasive primate research.
