Animal Cruelty

At any given time, over a million vulnerable animals are languishing in U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-licensed facilities, including commercial dog-breeding operations known as puppy mills. The Animal Welfare Act is the federal law designed to protect these animals, but the USDA is failing to enforce even its most basic provisions, such as ensuring animals have access to clean food and water, clean and safe housing and veterinary care.

Factory farming is a nightmare for animals, a trap for farmers, a danger to our environment and a disaster for rural communities. The Industrial Agriculture Conversion Act (IACA) would support farmers stuck in an unfair system, resulting in a more humane and sustainable future for everyone.
