Oppose the Save Our Bacon Act in the Farm Bill
Dear Representative,
As your constituent and someone who cares about the welfare of animals, I am disappointed that the House passed a Farm Bill that includes the Save Our Bacon Act. However, it is a relief that the Senate Agriculture Committee recently passed its own version of the Farm Bill and chose to exclude this deeply harmful language. I strongly urge you to ensure that any final Farm Bill follows the Senate’s lead and rejects the Save Our Bacon Act.
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, including laws that can help combat the spread of New World screwworm. This language would infringe on states’ right to govern their own standards, and it 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 gives Congress the opportunity 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 the Farm Bill.

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. While I am disappointed that the House-passed Farm Bill includes this deeply harmful language, it is a relief that the Senate Agriculture Committee’s version excludes it. I urge you to continue working to ensure that any final Farm Bill follows the Senate’s lead and rejects the Save Our Bacon Act.
As you know, 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, including laws that can help combat the spread of New World screwworm. This language would infringe on states’ right to govern their own standards, and it 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 urge you to continue to oppose its inclusion in the Farm Bill.

Dear Senator,
As your constituent and someone who cares about the welfare of animals, I am grateful that the Senate Agriculture Committee chose to exclude the Save Our Bacon Act from its recently passed Farm Bill. I strongly urge you to ensure that this deeply harmful language remains left out of the Farm Bill as it moves to the Senate floor and Congress works to pass a final version.
