Kudos to Agri-Pulse for sharing my perspective on the Farm Bill--Save Our Bacon Act: Now is not the time for Congress to reopen food fights https://t.co/zvr9xH4IrC
Several newspapers across farming states have run strikingly similar opinion columns over the past month that take issue with a California law requiring farmers to provide hogs, calves and chickens with enough room to turn around, lie down and stretch.

The US House just voted to strip federal protections for gray wolves, opening the door to trophy hunts and slaughter. The bill ignores science and public opinion, and is one of the most dangerous threats to wolves’ survival in recent years.

Read the story below to see why @Humane_World challenges the hype around Colossal’s “de-extinct” wolf pups. Our experts warn: extinction isn’t reversible—and pretending it is puts real animals, like gray wolves, at risk. 🐺
Scientists say the Trump administration's embrace of de-extinction won't help endangered species like the Great Lakes gray wolf. https://t.co/hrqiIuZuvK

The Food Security and Farm Protection Act doesn’t protect animals, consumers or states’ rights.

Let’s be clear: this is a federal overreach that serves Big Pork, not the American people.
