Help California's Pregnant Pigs and Veal Calves!

A bill just introduced in California would prohibit the cruel confinement of pregnant pigs and veal calves, both of which spend their lives in tiny crates too small even to turn around in, causeing tremendous frustration and psychological suffering.

A.B. 732 would require that these animals have enough room to turn around freely. This bill builds on the passage of such a law for pigs in Florida in the November election, and the near passage of a veal crate ban in New Jersey this year. This bill would not only prevent extremely cruel treatment of thousands of animals, but also protect the state from the environmental damage caused by the factory farms that use such intensive confinement methods.

If you live in California, please contact your state legislators and ask them to "Please support A.B. 732 to prohibit the cruel confinement of pregnant pigs and veal calves." Please tell everyone you know in California to do so as well. This could be a watershed for similar progress around the country.

To find out who your legislators are and how to reach them, look them up on Congress.org, or ask us at [email protected].
