Yes on S.B. 85-1; No on -2!
Dear Lawmaker,
As a resident of Oregon and your constituent, I am reaching out to ask you to support a full factory farm moratorium as proposed in S.B. 85-1. The -2 amendments should not be allowed to pass.
Industrial-sized Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) are harming Oregon’s animals, people and environment. They cause immense animal suffering for all species of animals, not just chickens. They pollute the water and air, contribute to climate change and push smaller, independent farms out of business.
It’s clear there is widespread support among Oregonians for a full factory farm moratorium. After the first public hearing on S.B. 85-1, 600 people submitted comments in support of a full moratorium to halt any new or expanding factory farms from being permitted in our state until Oregon’s leaders act to protect farm animals, our environment and our communities.
I urge you to work toward an Oregon that prioritizes higher-welfare farming and resilient rural communities by reining in all factory farms.
Please support S.B. 85-1 and vote “No” on the -2 amendment to protect Oregon’s future and improve the welfare of all farmed animals.
Thank you for your consideration of my position.
Please Advance H.B. 2667/S.B. 85-1
Dear Lawmaker,
As a resident of Oregon and your constituent, I am reaching out to ask you to support H.B. 2667/S.B. 85-1 and enact a moratorium on mega-factory farms in Oregon.
Industrial-sized Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) are harming Oregon’s animals, people and environment. They cause immense animal suffering, pollute the water and air, contribute to climate change, and push smaller, independent farms out of business.
I urge you to work toward an Oregon that prioritizes higher-welfare farming and resilient rural communities by reining in harmful factory farms.
H.B. 2667/S.B. 85-1 would halt any new or expanding factory farms from being permitted in our state until Oregon’s leaders act to protect farm animals, our environment and our communities.
Please support H.B. 2667/S.B. 85-1 in the 2023 legislative session to protect Oregon’s future and improve the welfare of farmed animals.
Thank you for your consideration of my position.
