Thank you to all the people that called and emailed on these bills. Unfortunately, 2 of them got killed in suspense file and are now dead. These were both good bills - but sometimes the bills get killed for political reasons rather than practical reasons.

However, every call/email does send a message that people care about animals regardless of the outcome. One caller was told we have been getting a lot of calls on animal welfare issues!

🚨 Three important California animal protection bills are at a critical stage—and your voice can make a difference.

All three bills are currently on the Appropriations Suspense File. Despite the name, this isn’t where bills go to “wait.” It’s where California lawmakers temporarily hold bills with significant fiscal impacts before making one final decision: move the bill forward or quietly stop it.

By August 14, the committee will decide which bills advance to the Senate floor and which never receive another vote.

The three bills we’re asking you to support are:

🐓 AB 928 – Helps crack down on illegal cockfighting operations by giving law enforcement a new civil enforcement tool.

🧬 AB 1382 – Stops the sale of genetically engineered “designer” pets created solely for cosmetic novelty.

🐶 AB 2344 – Helps abused and neglected animals leave shelter limbo and reach permanent homes sooner.

📞 It only takes a few minutes to help. Call or email lawmakers through the Action for Animals app before August 13.

Every call matters—especially before decisions are made behind closed doors. by @xfaorg

The Senate Farm Bill failed to advance in committee along party lines due to disagreements on SNAP benefits. There was no amendments even added to add in the “Save Our Bacon” Act that would put pigs in tiny cages. Both major wins for animals.

The Senate now goes on summer vacation and has till year end to come to a compromise on SNAP. If they do, this could move quickly. But for now, this is the best news we could hope for.

Thanks to everyone who called. There have been reports of senators getting thousands of calls on this issue. All this public pressure makes a difference! by @xfaorg

Yesterday, the U.S. House passed the FDA Modernization Act 3.0 (H.R. 2821) by voice vote — and the Senate already passed the same bill unanimously in December.

So why isn’t it law yet? A technicality. Because the House passed its own bill number, the Senate has to vote one more time. That’s it. One procedural vote stands between this bill and the President’s desk.

Here’s what it does: In 2022, Congress ended the legal mandate that every new drug be tested on animals. But the FDA never updated its regulations — so animal testing is still the default. H.R. 2821 forces the FDA to rewrite those rules, officially opening the door to modern, human-relevant methods like organs-on-chips and computational models.

Every year, millions of dogs, primates, mice, rats, and rabbits are used in drug testing — even though animal tests often fail to predict how drugs behave in humans.

The catch: no Senate vote is scheduled yet, and a single Senator’s hold could stall it. Your Senators already voted yes once. Now they need to hear one thing: finish the job. by @xfaorg

Parrots are some of the most intelligent, social animals out there — and many live for decades. 🦜

But the commercial bird trade fuels impulse purchases, and too many parrots end up neglected, rehomed, or surrendered to rescues that are already full.

A bill in Massachusetts (H.5137) would change that. It would end the commercial sale of parrots while keeping adoption and rescue fully open — so birds still find homes, just not through a cash register.

The hearing is July 1. A short note of support helps show lawmakers that people care. 💚

🐷 WE HELD THE LINE — FOR NOW.

The Senate Farm Bill discussion draft was released, and the provision that would gut Prop 12 is NOT in the text. That’s a real win, and it’s because of the calls, emails, and pressure from people like you.

But this fight is far from over.

Here’s what’s at stake: that provision — sometimes called the “Save Our Bacon Act” — would override Prop 12 and hundreds of state animal protection laws across the country. It would force pigs back into gestation crates so small they can’t even turn around, undoing protections voters chose.

It’s not in the draft. But the pork industry’s allies in the Senate are already working to add it back in as the bill moves through committee in the coming weeks. The committee is expected to take up the bill between the July 4th and August recesses — which means the next few weeks are critical.

This is exactly when public pressure matters most. Industry lobbyists are counting on this issue staying quiet and out of the headlines. Our job is to make sure it doesn’t.

👉 Call your senators. Tell them to oppose any amendment that preempts state animal protection laws.
👉 Share this post. Keep this issue loud and visible.

The cages stay empty as long as we keep the pressure on. 🧡 by @xfaorg

We are happy to introduce Animal Policy Platform - a free platform for animal organizations to turn legislative strategic action.

It is the same platform used by @xfaorg Action For Animals App to bring up to date legislative action for individual advocates.

The platform allows animal originations to:
- Track state and federal legislation with priority, classification, summary - updated daily.
- Track pro animal and anti animal Legislators.

Our goal is to make it easy for animal organizations to support, track and propose animal legislation and identify and support pro animal legislators.

Link in BIO to use it. by @xfaorg

Senator Boozman confirmed that he plans to drop the Senate Farm Bill text next week.

The bill is not expected to contain the Save Our Bacon Act, which would put pigs in tiny cages.

The fight is just getting started. The Senators answering to the National Pork Producers Council will certainly try to sneak this in - so it’s important to keep calling, and making this issue a red line.

The Senate is on vacation after this week and are expected to take up the text in committee in July. by @xfaorg
