#ProtectProp12 Stop the power grab!! House Ag Committee had a meeting this morning to allow the Big AG to try once again to void states rights. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @housegop.bsky.social @forbes.com @booker.senate.gov

Brown on #Prop12: "This is settled law."

A recent study shows 66% of U.S. pork consumers oppose gestation crates and prefer pork from pigs raised with better welfare. This growing awareness is shaping buying habits and boosting demand for humane pork. #ProtectProp12 #AnimalWelfare #FarmBill2025
#Prop12 sets standards for pork sold in California, not exported abroad. It doesn’t apply to exports, and global demand for higher-welfare products is growing. U.S. producers can lead by meeting both domestic and international expectations. #ProtectProp12 #AnimalWelfare
Adams points out that there are many farmers who are benefiting from #Prop12 and asks: "Why is the NPPC working against these farmers?" #ProtectProp12
Gestation crates confine mother pigs so tightly they can’t turn around: causing stress, boredom, and even self-harm. These intelligent animals suffer physically and mentally in extreme confinement. There’s nothing humane about it. #EndGestationCrates #ProtectProp12 #AnimalWelfare
McGovern also called out the lack of balance in today’s witness panel—pointing out they don’t represent all farmers. He warned that undermining Prop 12 could actually harm independent farmers, not help them. #ProtectProp12 #FarmBill2025 #FairFoodSystem
Rep. Jim McGovern nailed it: The criticism of #Prop12 just doesn’t hold up. Voters chose humane standards, and fear-based arguments are falling flat. #ProtectProp12 #AnimalWelfare #FarmBill2025
Voters knew #Prop12 could affect pork prices—ballot materials, media coverage, and campaign debates made that clear. Californians still chose higher welfare standards, even knowing it might cost more. That’s a values-based decision. #ProtectProp12 #AnimalWelfare
Cook of the NPPC says Prop 12 raises costs—but over a quarter of producers have already adapted, and California consumers are willing to pay for higher welfare. Investing in more humane farming isn’t a burden; it’s the future. #ProtectProp12 #AnimalWelfare #FarmBill2025
According to the USDA, 27% of producers are already compliant with #Prop12. Overriding it now would make those investments a sunk cost—hurting farmers who’ve already stepped up to meet higher animal welfare standards. #ProtectProp12 #AnimalWelfare
Chairman Thompson: "It begs the question – if producers are paying more, and consumers are paying more, who is winning?"
The pigs, calves, and hens that have more room to move.

Chairman GT Thompson opens House Ag hearing attacking Prop 12, calling it “arbitrary” and “unscientific”—despite it reflecting voter-approved standards for humane animal treatment. He frames animal welfare as a threat to commerce. #ProtectProp12 #AnimalWelfare
Please will you cover this? Happening now in the House Ag Committee!!
Farm Animals need your help right now 🆘 🙏🙏🙏

Laws preventing cruelty to animals & combating climate change are under attack by a lawsuit from the factory farming industry. @POTUS , please support Prop12 & states’ ability to pass laws to fight animal abuse & the climate crisis. 🙌 #ProtectProp12
