Save Our Pigs! The pork lobby is one farm bill away from gutting our strongest farm animal welfare laws

Submission statement: Article by Lewis Bollard, influential effective altruist and head of Farm Animal Welfare Program at Open Philanthropy, about a bill coming up for senate approval. This bill represents a democratic backslide, trying to nullify old state regulations (some of which were passed by ballot measure) under the pressure of the pork lobby. Under American liberalism, states should have the right to ban the sale of agricultural products.
