Arizona: Urge Gov. Hobbs to veto SB 1721
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Thank you to all of the advocates who called your legislators in Arizona and urged them to oppose SB 1721, which would void Arizona's important cage-free regulation. Unfortunately, this measure passed the Senate and the House of Representatives and is on its way to the governor's office.
On many egg factory farms, hens are crammed into cages so small that they cannot spread their wings. They are forced to eat, sleep and defecate in the same limited space and are denied almost everything that is natural to them. These conditions are cruel to the animals and increase the spread of diseases which can then sicken people. Rolling back Arizona’s cage-free regulation would not solve the current availability and price issues in the egg market, which are due to avian flu.
Please make your voice heard before it's too late. Hens in Arizona desperately need your help to keep this essential animal welfare regulation intact. Contact the governor's office TODAY and urge her to veto this dangerous bill.
