Fw: California: Farmed Animals Needs Your Support

April 25, 2003

Hi everyone,

Thank you for your support of my prior email. Please call or email your local

Assembly member and encourage them to support AB 732. It is a really simple

minute or so phone call and the offices of my local Senator Byron Sher and

Assembly member Rebecca Cohn have been really nice. PETA has an easy link that

allows you to quickly find your local government officials by entering your zip

code if you are unaware of who they are. Thank you in advance for your

support and for giving a voice to those that cannot speak for themselves!!

Please note: forwarded message attached

URGENT: Landmark Anti-Confinement Bill for Farmed Animals Needs Your Support

California Assembly Bill 732, which is scheduled for a vote before the Assembly Agriculture Committee on April 30, would eliminate the most egregious forms of confinement for pregnant pigs and veal calves by prohibiting tethering and crates that do not allow animals to turn around or groom themselves naturally. Furthermore, it would put an end to the worst forms of iron deficient diets for veal calves that cause weakness and anemia.

Please contact the chair of the California Agriculture Committee as well as your own Assembly member by Tuesday, April 29 and ask that they support AB 732. This is especially important for those of you who live in committee member districts. For a list of the committee, please The full text of the bill can be viewed at LegInfo.ca.gov.
