California Bill to Combat Factory Farming

[Guest guest]

Some of you may already be on Farm Sanctuary's action alert, but I think this

would be an incredibly powerful thing to attend. Imagine the message we would be

sending if we showed up in droves? I'm going to take off April 8th and

definitely go to Sacramento. I encourage as many of us who can to do the same.

These state by state bans of cruel factory farming methods are harbingers of the

end of factory farming. If you can show your support, please consider coming to

Sacramento on April 8th!

 

For the animals,

Colleen

Groundbreaking legislation (AB 732) has been introduced in California to outlaw

veal crates and gestation crates, and it is slated for a hearing in the Assembly

Public Safety committee on Tuesday, April 8th. Detailed information about these

inhumane systems is available at www.freefarmanimals.org.

 

These factory farming devices are so cruel that they have been banned across

Europe, and it's time for them to be outlawed in the U.S. as well. It is

critical for Assembly members to hear from California citizens who care about

animals, as agribusiness is lobbying against the measure.

 

Please contact your state Assembly representative and encourage him/her to

support AB 732. You can find out the name of your Assemblymember by clicking

here.

 

Also, please contact Assemblymember Loni Hancock and let her know that you

support AB 732.

show your support for this basic humane legislation.
