The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) released its farm animal platform for the 2023 Farm Bill, urging Congress to include critical reforms to improve farm animal welfare.
“Unfortunately, industrial agriculture interests have used their outsized influence to ensure that Farm Bill programs maintain the status quo—prioritizing record profits for multinational agribusinesses instead of supporting critical efforts to build a more humane and sustainable food system,” ASPCA said.
The ASPCA’s farm animal platform calls for a farm bill that: increases corporate accountability and addresses food system consolidation, ends government investment in the factory farm model, invests in farmers building a more humane system and ensures strong government oversight of industrial animal agriculture.
