Oppose Save Our Bacon Act in Final Farm Bill
Dear Representative,
As your constituent and someone who cares about the welfare of animals, I am extremely disappointed that the House of Representatives passed a Farm Bill that includes the Save Our Bacon Act (H.R. 4673).
Inclusion of the Save Our Bacon Act, which is a rebranded version of the Ending Agricultural Trade Suppression (EATS) Act, would preempt hundreds of state and local laws that protect farm animal welfare and ensure public health and safety. This language would infringe on states’ right to govern their own standards and would put farmers who have already made significant financial investments to improve the welfare of their operations at a severe competitive disadvantage. Congress should not undermine states’ rights, farmer livelihoods or the welfare of over 10 billion farm animals. Federal law should complement state animal protection laws, not overrule them.
The Farm Bill presents a rare chance to improve farm animal welfare and help our nation transition to a more humane food system. The Save Our Bacon Act would undermine these goals, and I strongly urge you to oppose its inclusion in any final Farm Bill that comes back to the House.

Dear Representative,
As your constituent and someone who cares about the welfare of animals, I am grateful for your continued opposition to the Save Our Bacon Act, which was unfortunately included in the House-passed Farm Bill. As the Farm Bill moves through the Senate, and ultimately comes back before the House, I urge you to continue opposing the inclusion of this language in any final version.
