Mother pigs are severely confined in cages so small that they cannot move or even nuzzle their babies who have to squeeze through the bars in order to be able to touch their mother. The mothers have to stay almost motionless for months as they are continually impregnated to produce more piglets. Meanwhile, in the United States, the proposed Save Our Bacon Act would nullify existing laws that give pigs - thinking, feeling, sentient living beings - some more room to stand up and stretch their limbs. No one has to be vegan to recognize that the barbaric way that mother pigs are treated in the pork industry is exceedingly cruel. The pork industry is pushing to get this act passed so that it can raise profits at the expense of mother pigs. If you live in the United States, please take action at any of the following so that this horrible act is not passed: Mercy for Animals: https://act.mercyforanimals.org/page/urge-senate-protect-animals-impacted-farm-bill/action The Humane League: https://secure.everyaction.com/siREbzv8bkeEDSA1XgTN7w2 Compassion in World Farming: https://action.ciwf.com/page/133720/action/1?sfCampaignId=701Pz000001RhzeIAC&supporter.appealCode=CATWE_US0923 PETA: https://support.peta.org/page/53990/action/1?locale=en-US Or call the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and let your senators know that you oppose the Save Our Bacon act.
