The 2007 Farm Bill – On the Floor this Week!; Use Your Voice to Help Farm Animals

The 2007 Farm Bill (HR 2419) is scheduled for debate by the House of Representatives today and tomorrow. This legislation includes a variety of issues including agriculture, nutrition and conservation. The version of the bill going to the floor today was improved significantly when the House Agriculture Committee responded to animal advocates’ calls and voted to remove both a $12 million veal subsidy and Section 123 (which would have threatened to dismantle virtually all state and local farm animal protection legislation). However, due to the broadness of the bill, there is ample opportunity for new amendments to be added, both those which are positive for animals and those which are detrimental. Please take action now to ensure that Congress acts responsibly by considering farm animals and reducing the funds that go to large-scale corporate animal agribusiness. Go to the Farm Sanctuary website to act now: www.farmsanctuary.org/actionalerts/update_farmbill_7_07.htm! Time is of the essence.

Animal Rescues Provide Opportunity for Action

Farm Sanctuary’s 2003 rescue efforts in Canisteo, N.Y., not only got badly abused animals to sanctuary, but it also provided an opportunity for people around the nation to help those in need. Programs like Adopt-A-Farm Animal have allowed Ramsey, a sheep taken from the nightmare in Canisteo, to thrive—and finally have a full, normal life. Farm Sanctuary also offers in-home placements through its Farm Animal Adoption Network, a more hands-on way to directly aid animals who have suffered. Read more.

ASPCA ASSISTS ANIMAL RESCUE EFFORTS IN MIDWEST

Last week, the ASPCA was deployed to Coffeyville, KS, to aid in rescue and relief efforts to animals stranded or left behind when residents were evacuated after major flooding. Among the many pets retrieved and reunited with their owners were dogs and cats, birds, iguanas, several tanks of fish–and even a toad.

ASPCA SUCCESS STORY OF THE WEEK: MAMA’S GIRL

Staffers at the Hearts United for Animals sanctuary thought Bessie’s underbite would deter potential adopters, but Dianne Kurtz found the Sheltie-shepherd’s smile to be just perfect.

LAST HORSE SLAUGHTER PLANT IN U.S. CLOSES ITS DOORS

The temporary restraining order that had allowed Cavel International to continue operating its DeKalb, IL, slaughterhouse has
expired–finally putting an end to the commercial slaughter of horses for human consumption in Illinois.

ESPECIALLY FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS

The school year may be over, but there are many ways to incorporate animals into camp, summer school and any other educational setting with kids.

JOIN US NEXT FRIDAY: DISASTER READINESS DISCUSSION

We all want to protect our pets should the worst happen–we just may not know how. Next Friday, July 20, we will be holding a moderated discussion on how to include pets in your emergency planning from noon to 2:00 P.M. EST.

COMING UP: FERAL CAT EXPERTS TO TEACH PROGRESSIVE TECHNIQUES

Oregonians, please thank Governor Kulongoski for making your state a pioneer in the fight against farm animal cruelty. By signing SB 984 into law, the governor made Oregon the first state in the nation to ban the use of pig gestation crates by act of state legislature.

FEDERAL: GREAT NEWS–DANGEROUS FARM BILL PROVISION NIXED!

Last week, we told you how Section 123 of the 2007 Farm Bill could jeopardize food safety and animal welfare. Thank you for contacting your representatives in U.S Congress–on July 6, Section 123 was removed from the bill.

Make Your Plans for Taking Action for Animals 2007

Taking Action for Animals 2007, the leading national conference of the animal advocacy movement, will kick off in Washington, DC on July 28. The conference will last for three days, including a special lobbying day on Capitol Hill, and will bring activists — both new and seasoned — together with movement leaders and other experts from across the country.

Taking Action for Animals is designed to motivate, inspire, and teach advocates how to be a voice for animals. This year’s conference will have a special focus on taking action for farmed animals. It will also cover other timely animal issues such as the pet food recall, and is filled with sessions and training workshops — including hands-on training in lobbying, media relations, advocacy campaigns, and much more.

The conference’s downtown Washington, DC location offers attendees a unique opportunity to network with animal welfare leaders and hundreds of grassroots activists, lobby in the heart of the U.S. government, and also view the historic sites of our nation’s capital. Additionally, an array of restaurants, shops, other attractions, and public transportation are all just moments away.

The Animal Protection Institute is a co-sponsor of this year’s event, and is one of the founding organizations of the Taking Action for Animals conferences.

Chicago Update: Lawsuit Rejected; Repeal Ordinance Introduced

On Tuesday, June 12, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by the Illinois Restaurant Association (IRA) to overturn Chicago’s foie gras ban. U.S. District Judge Blanche Manning summed up her 26-page ruling by stating, “Chicago’s ban of foie gras sales in restaurants does not exceed the City’s home rule powers or violate the dormant Commerce Clause. Thus, the Ordinance does not violate the Illinois or United States Constitutions.” Read more.
