Take Action for Farm Animals

Help Protect Downed Pigs and Other Farm Animals

In 2009, President Obama announced a new rule that prevents downed cattle from being slaughtered for human food. While this was a step in the right direction, the USDA has no rules in place to protect downed pigs, sheep, goats, other farm animals. Please take a minute now to contact Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and urge him to extend this rule to include downers of other species.
