Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates.

Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023.

Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state.

The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices.

Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at https://t.co/MQvByA4atR and https://t.co/v6ghw99u1K — it takes two minutes and it matters.

Imagine being trapped in a windowless shed with tens of thousands of bodies pressing against you. The air is burning your throat. The heat is crushing. The noise is constant panic.

There’s no space to move. No space to rest. No space to breathe.

Just endless wings beating, birds collapsing, and the feeling of being swallowed alive by the crowd.

For chickens in factory farms, this isn’t a moment. It’s their *entire life*.

Pigs are smarter than dogs.

They solve puzzles, play video games with joysticks, and can outsmart 3-year-old children on some tests.

Pigs are highly sentient, showing empathy by mirroring others' stress or joy, forming deep bonds of affection and love, and displaying loyalty through long-term memory and trust.

Yet the pork lobby is sneaking the 'Save Our Bacon Act' into the farm bill to lock millions in cruel gestation crates for life.

A lot to learn from this.

In 2011, Dippin' Dots, aka the "ice cream of the future", went bankrupt.

After being swooped up for relative pennies at just $12M, they were acquired last year for $222,000,000.

The crazy part? Most of the company's value wasn't from selling ice cream.

Here's the wild story:
