LOS ANGELES, May 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On May 15, 2019, Senate Bill 1884 – relating to the protection of animal and crop facilities; creating a criminal offense – passed the House Agriculture & Livestock Committee. The freedom-crushing bill is now headed to the Calendars Committee to determine whether or not the bill should be heard on the House floor.

Your help is needed now more than ever to defeat this dangerous bill. If signed into law, SB 1884 would make it illegal to expose animal cruelty and neglect on factory farms.
