Despicable: the House just passed a farm bill that includes the SOB Act to keep pigs imprisoned in crates.
Our last hope is to keep this out of the Senate farm bill. Call your senators at (202) 224-3121 and tell them NO farm bill bill with the Save Our Bacon Act in it.
This is shocking: the House Rules Committee just blocked a vote on stripping the Save Our Bacon Act from the farm bill.
The SOB Act, buried deep in the farm bill, would wipe out state bans on pork from crated pigs, condemning millions to a lifetime in gestation crates.
We were getting very close to having the votes to pass Rep. Lunaโs bipartisan amendment to strip the SOB Act from the bill on the floor of the House.
Then pork industry lobbyists got to work. Behind closed doors, they got Rules Committee leadership to stop a vote entirely and protect the SOB Act from the scrutiny it canโt survive.
The only option now is to kill the whole rotten farm bill. Please call your representatives at (202) 225-3121 and tell them to vote NO.
