Gene Baur is a #vegan activist, best selling author, and co‑founder and president of @FarmSanctuary, America’s leading farm animal protection organization.
Three powerful pieces on the Save Our Bacon Act dropped this weekend: from @NickKristof, @kathleenparker, and @Noahpinion.
This is much needed. The mainstream media has been silent on what may be the greatest legislative threat to animal welfare in a generation.
There's been a grassroots revolt against the Act on X -- led by conservatives. But only one network has covered it: Fox, thanks to @TomiLahren.
This is exactly what the pork industry wants. It knows the Act is deeply unpopular. Its paid-for politicians can only pass it if they're never forced to defend it publicly.
They were hoping you wouldn't notice. They're now hoping you'll stay quiet. Prove them wrong.
The pork industry lost with voters. Lost at the Supreme Court. So they turned to Congress—and got the "Save Our Bacon" Act buried in the House Farm Bill. It's the biggest rollback of animal welfare protections in U.S. history. A thread. 🧵
Security is not a single line item in the federal budget. It is the product of a society’s overall resilience: its health, its economic stability, and its capacity to withstand shocks. https://t.co/mwpbv0nI28 via @foodtank
Despicable: the House just passed a farm bill that includes the SOB Act to keep pigs imprisoned in crates.
Our last hope is to keep this out of the Senate farm bill. Call your senators at (202) 224-3121 and tell them NO farm bill bill with the Save Our Bacon Act in it.

This person is upset about nitrates in the water supply, yet promotes a diet high in meat and milk. Nitrates in the water supply primarily come from farmed animal manure and from growing crops to feed farmed animals. https://t.co/31HAdA8Ncz
A huge debt of gratitude to sanctuaries working tirelessly to save animal lives. We see you and appreciate you.
