Hidden on pages 744–746 of the Farm Bill is a provision called the “Save Our Bacon Act.”
It could override state laws that ban pork from pigs raised in gestation crates.
This isn’t just an animal confinement issue.
It’s also a public health issue.

🚜 Big Pork’s terrified because independent farmers are fighting back. Prop 12 didn’t wreck farms — it exposed corporate lies. Missouri’s family farmers deserve freedom, not feudalism. 🐖💪

Live from DC: more than 200 farmers gathered to meet with Congress and share their opposition to the EATS Act and support for #Prop12.

Two new op-eds from our team this week:
📢 In The Washington Times, we break down #Prop12 and why it matters for animals and democracy.
📢 In @commondreams.org, we expose how the pork lobby’s power grab puts farmers and voters at risk.
Politicians bragged about who makes the “best pork” at a hearing on Prop 12. But before pork is a product, it’s a pig—smart, social, and stuck in a cage.
Tell Congress: Oppose the #SaveOurBaconAct. 🐷

THREAD: What is Prop. 12 and why does it matter beyond CA?
The animal welfare law sets space standards for pigs, hens & calves. Because CA’s market is huge, it impacts farms nationwide.

#Prop12 #AnimalWelfare #AgNews
#Prop12 is a California legislation passed in 2018 that sets minimum animal welfare standards for pigs and hens. The pork industry fought the law all the way to the Supreme Court, where it was upheld in 2023.

Big Meat lost in court, but they’re not done. Prop. 12 requires pork sold in California to come from pigs with at least 24 sq. ft. of space. Now, Big Meat targets it through Congress and the DOJ.

#Prop12 #Opinion #FarmPolicy
#California voters overwhelmingly passed #Proposition12, setting more humane standards for #farmanimals. The Trump admin. is trying to silence that voice as industrial ag silences animals every second of every day through exploitation & cruelty.
#Prop12 must stand! #AnimalWelfare #VotingRights
Again, claims that #Prop12 “dramatically” disrupts interstate commerce are overstated. The law simply sets humane standards for products sold in CA, just like other states regulate safety and labeling.
Investigation footage of cruelty—like what Rep. LaMalfa mentions—is not the exception: it’s the rule on many factory farms. These conditions are standard practice, hidden from public view. It’s time for transparency and real change. #AnimalWelfare #FactoryFarming #Prop12
Bills like EATS threaten to override democratically elected policies like Prop 12, stripping states of their power to set animal welfare standards that reflect voters’ values. Democracy means respecting local voices over corporate interests, people over profit. #Prop12 #AnimalWelfare #Democracy
Science shows pigs deserve enough space to move freely, turn around, lie down comfortably, and express natural behaviors. They’re intelligent, social animals—not just commodities. Humane treatment isn’t optional; it’s a scientific and ethical imperative. #AnimalWelfare #Prop12
Critics say Prop 12 isn’t “science-based” but decades of research show pigs suffer in extreme confinement. Science supports giving animals space to move, lie down, and express natural behaviors. Prop 12 is grounded in both evidence and ethics. #AnimalWelfare #Prop12
14 states have laws regulating how pigs and other farm animals are treated. Ten states ban cruel gestation crates. Prop 12 is part of a growing movement to ensure pigs can move, lie down, and live with dignity. It's time more states followed suit. 🐖 #AnimalWelfare #Prop12
Prop 12 is a crucial first step toward a future where pigs are treated with dignity and respect. We must keep pushing for standards that ensure humane living conditions for all farm animals. #AnimalWelfare #Prop12
Rep. Finstad asks questions about the treatment of animals, focusing on feed, health, etc.
What wasn't asked--do these pigs have space to turn around? Do they have space to comfortably lie down? #Prop12
Prop 12 wasn’t dreamed up by outsiders—it was shaped by farmers, experts, and advocates who understand hog barns firsthand. Real change comes from listening to those who know the industry inside and out. #Prop12 #FarmersVoices #AnimalWelfare
Prop 12 pushes back against industry conglomerates that wield outsized control over farm practices, forcing farmers to conform to profit-driven standards. It’s a needed step to restore more ethics and fairness in agriculture. #Prop12 #BigAg #AnimalWelfare
Sorenson states that Prop 12 isn’t about new rules—it’s a return to traditional farming practices that prioritize animal welfare and responsible care. It sets a baseline that reflects how farming was done before industrial shortcuts took over. #Prop12 #BetterFarming
Farming is about animal stewardship, not politics. No consumer objects to basic welfare standards—Prop 12’s ideas are simply what responsible farmers have always embraced as the norm. Good farming is good farming, period. #AnimalWelfare #Prop12
Schuiteman deflects answering how #Prop12 would harm sows.
Instead, reiterates that producers should have the ability to raise their sows how they see fit.
