U.S. S. 1326 — Food Security and Farm Protection Act
Sponsor: Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa)

U.S. H.R. 4673 — Save Our Bacon Act
Sponsor: Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-Iowa)

ASPCA Position: Oppose

The Food Security and Farm Protection Act (S. 1326) and the Save Our Bacon Act (H.R. 4673) are dangerous bills that were introduced in Congress this year. Despite the new names, these bills are simply rebranded versions of the dangerous Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (EATS) Act from last Congress. Please urge your federal lawmakers to oppose these bills.

While their supporters in Congress and industrial agriculture interests claim these bills will protect farmers and food security, their real goal is to erase existing animal welfare laws and perpetuate the inhumane practices on factory farms. Like the EATS Act before them, these bills are a direct response to the success of animal welfare bills like California’s Proposition 12, which was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court. Existing state and local bans on cruel farming practices — including gestation crates for pigs, battery cages for egg-laying hens and veal crates for calves — could be undone if these bills pass. Additionally, good laws related to food safety, farm worker protections and environmental standards may be at risk.

We cannot roll back progress and allow animals to suffer.
