Tonight: Stop Congress from Rolling Back State Laws for Animals

Dear friend,

Tonight’s the night. At 8 p.m. ET, Animal Wellness Action and the Center for a Humane Economy will host a powerful webinar: “Farm Protection or Factory Farm Giveaway? Exposing the Threat of the Food Security and Farm Protection Act.”

The stakes couldn’t be higher. The National Pork Producers Council—backed by China’s Smithfield Foods—is pushing Congress to erase decades of progress in farm animal protection. If they succeed, America could see the rise of 30-story factory hog farms, and millions of pigs crammed back into cages so small they cannot turn around.

It’s a threat to animals. It’s a threat to our farmers. It’s a threat to the United States.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

1. Get the facts on how foreign-dominated trade groups are working to gut state-level animal welfare laws.
2. See what’s at risk: the rollback of progress against animal fighting, horse slaughter, greyhound racing, and more.
3. Hear from experts—two agricultural veterinarians, an economist, and a pig farmer—about why this bill threatens animals, family farms, and food security.
4. Understand the bigger picture: how Smithfield and its allies are trying to reshape U.S. agriculture in China’s image.
5. Learn how you can fight back—including the direct steps you can take to protect animals and defend states’ rights.

We need your voice. We need your action. Don’t sit this one out.
