VICTORY!!!! MY EMAIL LETTER: Dear Cheryl, You should feel proud--today you had a major victory for farm animals across the United States. By speaking out on behalf of animals, you moved Congress to help millions of farm animals by removing the King Amendment from the final Farm Bill. Following months of negotiations, the Farm Bill Conference Committee finally reached an agreement, and were pleased to share that the final version of the Bill has dropped the controversial King Amendment that was passed in 2013 by the House. If included, the King Amendment would have lowered standards for agriculture production and weakened current state-based laws (like in California, whose laws allow certain animals to move freely and extend their limbs while confined). This would have had serious negative consequences for the welfare of millions of farm animals and for consumers. This is a huge win for farm animals, which was made possible by you taking action. Thank you for sending letters to your local Senators and Representatives urging them to remove the King Amendment. Together, we have made a real difference for farm animals. Sincerely, Anne Lieberman Executive Director, WSPA USA
