How you can prevent the federal government from destroying most animal welfare lawsThe EATS act now called the save our bacon act would make it illegal for states to pass animal welfare laws that apply to products produced out of state. This would gut most state level animal protection. It would be the worst law for animal welfare ever passed, and would consign hundreds of millions of animals to a life in a cage. Terrifyingly, it has been added to the recent farm bill (though fortunately, even if it passes, egg laying hens will be spared). It will be voted on in the next few days, so this is EXTREMELY TIME SENSITIVE!There is an amendment to the farm bill that representatives could vote for called the Luna amendment which would remove the EATS act from the farm bill. This would save countless animals from extreme suffering and prevent the dissolution of most animal protection laws. It would be a catastrophe for animal welfare of historic proportions.
>>5119930Fortunately, there is something you can do about it. See this document for a lot more detail, including fairly easy steps like emailing your representative. Please, please, do some of these things. This is truly a pivotal moment for animals, and how we act today might affect the fates of hundreds of millions of animals. The lives of hundreds of millions of sentient beings is in flux, and whether they are kept in nightmarish cages for their whole lives comes down to what happens in the next few days.

It is the worst piece of legislation for animals in U.S. history. It would gut farm animal protection laws across the country, including California's landmark Prop 12, and prevent any new meaningful state laws from being passed. Here's where we stand:We secured a major early victory: the egg provision has been stripped out, meaning cage-free egg laws will NOT be reversed. That is a monumental win. Though if SOB passes, adding eggs back in would take only a simple amendment down the road.A few weeks ago, the Farm Bill passed out of the House Agricultural Committee with SOB included. But this may be the week everything changes.We worked with Rep. Luna (R-FL) to introduce an amendment to remove SOB from the Farm Bill entirely, and we've heard from the Majority Whip's office that a full House floor vote is likely imminent. This will be a straight up-or-down vote on whether Prop 12 survives the most important vote for animals in the history of this country, as monumental as the day the Supreme Court ruled in our favor. (To be clear, if we lose, it still would have to go through the Senate.)The National Pork Producers Council is going all out to beat us, including a major ad campaign targeting members of Congress and doing media in agriculture and political press. We're fighting back. Our side is launching a counter-advertising campaign running Monday through Thursday, and I'm on a flight back to DC right now to fight in person alongside other colleagues in the coalition and pork companies who stand with us. We'll also have trucks circling the Capitol carrying gestation crates on flatbeds with model pigs and signs reading "Family Farmers Support Prop 12" and Vote YES on the Luna Amendment

Not my problem

Branding this shit as moral is a guaranteed failure because prioritizing any animal at any point over any human being is immoral. If you say sentient beings now you’re basically admitting you hold an ideology that permits killing a human to spare the lives of some number of animals, 1+. Focus on zoonotic diseases and the psychosocial impacts of making poor mexicans and trailer park people torturously slaughter unnatural numbers of animals if you don’t want to become propaganda for trump’s third term.

https://benthams.substack.com/p/follow-up-on-urgent-animal-welfareHi everyone, in my last article I talked about the federal effort to destroy state animal welfare laws. The farm bill is set to destroy most state-level animal welfare protections. There was an amendment called the Luna amendment that would have removed from the farm bill the provisions that would have destroyed most state animal welfare laws. Sadly it didn’t pass.Thus, the destruction of most state animal welfare protections will be in the farm bill. The only remaining option is getting representatives to vote no on the farm bill. This is doable! In the linked doc you can see more details about how to contact your representatives about this, including what you should say to them. It also discusses the enormity of this decision. Very urgent, and the stakes are very high! Please do this, tell your friends to do it, and share this article so that more people can do it! Otherwise animal welfare might be set back decades, and hundreds of millions may be consigned to a cageMAIN ACTIONSAll Hands on Deck: Urgent Animal Welfare ActionLast updated: April 28, 2026What's at StakeThe Save Our Bacon Act (formerly the EATS Act) is arguably the most consequential piece of farm animal legislation in U.S. history. If the Farm Bill passes with this provision included, it would:Override more than 600 state agricultural laws, including laws that voters passed directly through ballot initiativesWipe out California's Prop 12 and similar protections in Massachusetts, Oregon, Colorado, Arizona, and other statesStrip states of their authority to set food safety, labeling, and disease-prevention standardsLock hundreds of millions of farm animals into extreme confinement by overturning the laws designed to get them out of cages
>>5120076Block any state from passing meaningful farm animal protections in the futureOne early win has held: the egg provision was stripped, so cage-free egg laws are not currently at risk. But if the Farm Bill passes with the rest of the Save Our Bacon Act intact, restoring the egg provision would only require a simple amendment down the road.Where Things StandThe amendment path is closed. A few weeks ago, the Farm Bill passed out of the House Agricultural Committee with the Save Our Bacon Act included. A coalition of organizations worked with Representatives Luna (R-FL) and Costa (D-CA) to introduce an amendment that would have stripped the Save Our Bacon Act out of the bill before a floor vote — and for a while, it looked like that amendment would get its day. The Majority Whip's office had signaled that a full House floor vote was imminent, and our side was preparing for what would have been a straight up-or-down vote on whether Prop 12 survives.That vote is no longer happening. On April 28, the House Rules Committee — which decides which amendments are allowed to reach the floor — declined to make the Luna/Costa amendment in order. That means it cannot be voted on separately. The Farm Bill will move to the floor with the Save Our Bacon Act still attached.What this means strategically. The cleanest path to victory is gone, but the fight is not over. With the amendment blocked, the only remaining way to stop the Save Our Bacon Act from becoming law is to defeat the Farm Bill itself in the full House, which would force congressional leadership back to the negotiating table to produce a clean version. The full House vote could come as early as Thursday. If we lose this vote, the bill still has to pass the Senate — but a House loss makes Senate passage significantly more likely, and would represent the worst legislative outcome for farm animals in U.S. history.
>>5120077Why this is still winnable. Defeating an entire Farm Bill is a heavier ask than passing a single amendment, but the conditions are unusually favorable. Margins are tight. Many representatives are already uncertain about the Farm Bill for unrelated reasons disputes over SNAP funding, crop insurance reforms, and rural development priorities have created cross-pressure on members from both parties. A wave of constituent contacts in this window can genuinely tip the balance. The National Pork Producers Council is spending heavily to push the bill through with a major ad campaign in agricultural and political press. A coalition of organizations is running a counter-campaign through Thursday, with on-the-ground organizing in DC, including trucks circling the Capitol with gestation crates and signs reading "Family Farmers Support Prop 12."What's missing is volume from constituents and that's where YOU come in.How You Can HelpThere are seven ways to help, organized from lowest to highest effort.
