BREAKING: Senator Roger Marshall just pulled his support from the “Save Our Bacon Act” (SOBA). This is huge. If the literal co sponsor of this bill pulled out, why are other lawmakers still holding out? We need to keep going. Let’s push Congress to follow suit. Contact your representatives and tell them to oppose the Save Our Bacon Act. 🐖🌾 #FarmBill #SaveOurBaconAct #Prop12 #animalwelfare

Thank you, @RogerMarshallMD, for listening to family farmers, respecting states’ rights, and recognizing the importance of animal welfare. Withdrawing support for efforts to overturn California’s Prop 12 was the right decision. Now it’s time for other senators to step up. Remaining silent isn’t an option in this fight. Stand for states’ rights. Stand with family farmers. Stand for animal welfare. The American people are watching. #Prop12 #StatesRights #AnimalWelfare #FamilyFarmers

New reporting from @thenewledenews looks at how people affiliated with Big Agriculture are attempting to overturn voter-approved state animal welfare laws, and how misinformation is at the forefront of a new wave of regulations. “Efforts to disguise industry-backed advocacy as grassroots concern only make it harder for the public to have an honest conversation about the future of animal welfare, agriculture and consumer choice,” says @humaneworldorg.

The Save Our Bacon Act will not prevent piglets from being crushed by their mothers. Some folks in the pork industry are misleading people by conflating farrowing crates with gestation crates. The photo in this article shows farrowing crates used to confine mother pigs and their piglets. The Save Our Bacon Act/Prop 12 does not affect farrowing crates. Proposition 12 only affects some meat from the offspring of pigs confined to gestation crates, which are the individual 2' x 7' pens used to confine pregnant pigs for 114 days of their pregnancy. #onehealth #saveourbacon #vetmed #prop12 #animalwelfare

"Claims that the veterinary profession supports the preemption of state laws like Question 3 and Proposition 12 (as passed by California) are false. Transitions to group housing systems for pregnant sows have safely and successfully occurred in our state, and while good or adequate welfare is not guaranteed under these systems, research has identified the essential elements to ensure they do." -- Massachusetts Veterinary Medical Association #farmbill #saveourbacon #prop12 #Vetmed #avma

The so-called “Save Our Bacon” Act is NOT currently included in the base text of the Farm Bill. But this battle is not over. Veterinarian Mónica Ramírez urges you to protect the pigs! The language could still be added back in as an amendment, which means now is the time to call your Senators. Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley said, “It’s got to be in the farm bill or it won’t get done. It’s pretty simple.” Let's make sure it doesn’t get done! Call the Capitol Switchboard: (202) 224-3121 Tell them: Keep the so-called “Save Our Bacon” Act out of the Farm Bill. This bill would undermine state laws that set basic standards for products sold within their borders, including laws that restrict the sale of pork from systems that confine pregnant pigs in gestation crates. These laws don’t just protect animals; they also protect public health. and the right of states and voters to set meaningful standards. Extreme confinement can elevate stress, suppress immune function, and increase pathogen growth, shedding, and transmission. Infected animals may remain asymptomatic through slaughter, allowing contaminated products to reach consumers. Pork is already a major source of foodborne illness in the United States, with pathogens including Salmonella, Campylobacter, Yersinia, Listeria, Staphylococcus aureus, hepatitis E virus, and Toxoplasma gondii. Many of these pathogens can evade routine inspection, and several are increasingly resistant to medically important antibiotics. The pork industry often argues that banning gestation crates “removes tools” from veterinarians and producers. But a harmful practice does not become acceptable just because it gives an industry more flexibility. That is exactly why animal welfare and public-health laws exist: to create a floor below which industries cannot fall. States must be allowed to protect animals, consumers, and public health from the risks of extreme confinement and industry overreach.

Despite revising their sow housing guidelines, the American Veterinary Medical Association is trying to keep pigs in gestation crates and has recently supported language in the Farm Bill that would overturn state animal welfare laws. I hope that more veterinarians voice their concerns and let Senators know that the AVMA does not represent us! 🔗👇 #prop12 #saveourbacon #farmbill #animalwelfare #vetmed

I AM an American hog farmer and I’ve been to DC multiple times pushing for this in the farm bill. Prop12 was pushed by animal rights advocates that have the destruction of animal agriculture as their aim. We take care of our animals and don’t need CA liberals telling us how

Then why is NPPC, largely financed by pork producers, pork corporations, and political donors whose economic interests are tied to industrial pork industry, are the ones trying to kill prop12 all these year?
