[Alex Bores @AlexBores]

The Save Our Bacon Act is a brazen attack on animals, independent farmers, and NY’s rights.

The Trump regime and Congressional Republicans are trying to sneak in a measure that incentivizes the most cruel and inhumane practices, and they want to block all future state regulations while they’re at it. The pattern of cruelty is undeniable.

Washington’s message is clear: the powerful corporate interests want to take away your choice and stake in animal protections.

I’m proud to have been endorsed by @humaneactfund and @theanimalvoters because I championed animal rights in Albany, and they know I’ll do the same in Washington from day one.

My position is crystal clear: in Congress, I’d vote No.

Important piece from Nick Kristoff | What the Meat Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know - The New York Times https://t.co/EsT2WAMYhx

[Our World in Data @OurWorldInData]

In a world that often feels deeply polarized, it is rare to find a topic where almost everyone agrees. The treatment of farm animals is one of them.

Surveys across many countries show that a strong majority of people, regardless of their diet, oppose common practices in animal agriculture. In the chart you can see survey data from the UK.

Given these surveys, and with the increasing availability of plant-based meat alternatives, one might expect people in these countries to be shifting away from consuming animal products.

But the data shows a different story.

At a global level, meat consumption is not only high but also increasing. Each year, hundreds of billions of land animals, fish, and crustaceans are farmed and killed to produce food.

There is a clear gap between what people want — meat produced without suffering — and what the food system delivers. Understanding this gap is the first step to closing it.

In a new article, Pablo Rosado makes the case that one of the biggest opportunities of our generation is to build a system where the food we eat reflects the values we already hold.

Brooke Rollins has sent billions of dollars to factory farms to, among other things, roast animals alive. Do not believe her lies. She is no friend to animals.

I've tweeted 13,000 times over the last decade about animal protection issues because of one simple fact:

Animals are worthy of our consideration, respect, and compassion.

Retweet if you agree with me.

Holy - look at this.

Senator Rick Scott just disclosed trades more than a year late.

They were worth $26,000,000.

You did not read that wrong.

He traded millions on companies he legislated.

Unusual.

Forget lab meat, we already eat lab-distorted chicken.

Chicken labs have distorted the bird so much that up to 225M/year die from collapsing under their own weight.

"The pain is often so intense that a chicken will die of thirst rather than walk."

The heart of hog country rejects Big Pork’s federal power grab.

@gazettedotcom, one of Iowa’s leading newspapers, published an editorial today opposing “Save Our Bacon Act,” calling it political overreach that undermines voters and humane farming progress.

Horseshoe crabs have outlived dinosaurs and five mass extinctions. But today, nearly a million are captured each year and drained of up to a third of their blood for medical testing, despite the availability of non-animal alternatives.

They deserve better.

If you are claustrophobic , imagine spending your whole life in a crate so small you can't even turn around. That's the reality for mother #pigs. 💔

[Kenny Torrella @KennyTorrella]

GT Thompson is really trying to argue that gestation crates -- which confine pregnant pigs for months on end -- are fine for animal welfare. These are gestation crates: https://t.co/e3J6qvDEHX

90%+ of Americans -- Ds and Rs alike -- agree it's wrong to treat animals this way.

State ballot measures to ban this cruelty have won easily, from CA to FL.

Now pork industry lobbyists are pushing Congress to wipe out these state bans in the Farm Bill. They must be stopped.

[Humane World for Animals @humaneworldorg]

Animals are biologically different from humans, and so animal-based research can be deeply unreliable, which, in turn, hinders medical progress and slows down the advancement of our scientific knowledge. https://t.co/Do3oNmkBKk
