Keep Deceptive Puppy Protection Act OFF the Lame Duck Farm Bill

STOP the Weaponization of Government fo Enforce the Animal Welfare Act!

The Better Care for Animals Act shifts enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act (AWA) from the USDA, to the Department of Justice (DOJ), which lacks knowledge of any kind in animal care. This shift in enforcement authority threatens animal enterprises, as it targets them with criminal penalties and potentially broaden licensing requirements to hobby breeders.

The Industrial Agriculture Conversion Act (H.R.9794/S.5176), led by Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), a vocal advocate for veganism and animal liberation, seeks to push farmers and ranchers away from animal agriculture. The legislation argues that the current system of raising animals, particularly in concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), is "inhumane, unsustainable, and economically unstable."

The bill proposes financial incentives to encourage farmers to transition from livestock farming to crop cultivation.

Take Action to urge Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, to support horse-drawn carriages against the city council's unlawful plan to "phase out" or ban their lawful businesses, outright. 

In an effort to advance the 2023-24 Farm Bill, the House Agriculture Committee recently had a mark-up of the Farm Bill and unfortunately voted to add  Goldie's Act (H.R.1788/S.4033) as an amendment to the House version. 

Please use this email campaign to send your opposition to Goldie's Act amending the Senate mark-up of the Farm bill directly to Members of the Senate Agriculture Committee.

It is with great concern that we address the recent push by certain animal rights organizations to BAN horse-drawn carriages in Dallas.

These organizations, without valid reasoning beyond emotional propaganda, are urging the Dallas City Council to replace these cherished symbols of our city's history and charm with electric carriages.

Please take action and urge your Federal U.S. Representative and Senators to STOP the Memorandum of Understanding to modify enforcement provisions under the Animal Welfare Act by allowing the Department of Justice to collaborate with USDA to bring civil actions against violators of the Act.

It is imperative to consider the potential negative implications and unintended consequences of such a collaboration. 

A critical element in protecting American Agriculture and its farmers, ranchers, and animal owners is standing up against animal rights groups and their anti-agriculture, animal abolition agenda.

Recently, several of these organizations (namely, American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), the Humane Society of the U.S. (HSUS) and Animal Wellness Action (AWA) have made bold proclamations to amend the 2023 Farm Bill with several of their proposed federal bills that have never passed on their own merits. So now, they are attempting to get them over the finish line by amending them to the 2023 Farm Bill and the FY24 Agriculture Appropriations.
