Hi!

We're now facing one of the most serious threats to animal protection laws ever−and we need your help to stop it.  

The House of Representatives' Farm Bill contains an amendment from Rep. Steve King (R-IA) that could wipe out animal protection laws nationwide.  

Arizona's law banning gestation crates, Michigan's law banning veal crates, California's law banning battery cages−they're all in jeopardy. And it doesn't stop there: every state factory farm confinement law, horse slaughter laws, shark finning bans and puppy mill regulations−along with environmental protection, worker safety, and other important laws−are all at risk. If the King amendment passes, these could all could be nullified.    

Please make a brief, polite phone call to your U.S. Representative urging support of the Denham-Schrader amendment, which would strip the King amendment from the Farm Bill. You can say: "As a constituent concerned about preventing cruelty to animals, I'm calling to urge you to support the Denham-Schrader amendment because I want animals to have protection from cruelty."

Thank you for lending your voice to farmed animals.
