The vote could happen at any time now ! SAMPLE LETTER : (You may write your own letter if you wish, thanks) Dear Senator , Please vote " YES " on the Leahy-Fitzgerald amendment to S. 1191, the FY 2002 Agriculture Appropriations Bill. The Leahy-Fitzgerald Amendment would bar the USDA (U.S. Department of Agriculture) from purchasing eggs for the School Lunch Program from egg producers that use cruel " forced molting " . The practice of starving hens for profit is known as forced-molting. Molting literally refers to the replacement of old feathers by new ones. In nature, birds replace all their feathers in the course of a year to maintain good plumage at all times. A natural molt often happens at the onset of winter, when nature discourages the hatching of chicks. The hen stops laying eggs and concentrates her energies on staying warm and growing new feathers. However, the egg industry exploits this natural process by forcing an entire flock to molt simultaneously. This is done to manipulate the marketplace and to pump a few hundred more eggs out of very exhausted hens when it is deemed cheaper to " recycle " them rather than immediately slaughter them after a year of relentless egg- laying on a calcium-deficient diet. (see Reference # 1 , # 2 ) As a Constituent , I strongly urge you to Vote YES on the Leahy-Fitzgerald amendment to S. 1191, the FY 2002 Agriculture Appropriations Bill. Thank you so much for your kindness, compassion and help.
