8. SOUTH CAROLINA-PROHIBITS LOCAL FARM ANIMAL ORDINANCES (S.B.453). OPPOSE.
As is the case in Oklahoma, the South Carolina state legislature is also considering legislation which would prevent municipal and county governments from passing any regulations regarding the handling of livestock. This is not only an assault upon farm animals and the environment, but also an affront to the democratic process. This bill constitutes a power grab by agribusiness corporations that are concerned with growing public awareness and opposition to industrialized agriculture.
ACTION: SOUTH CAROLINA RESIDENTS. This bill has passed the Senate and has moved to the House. Please contact your state representative to urge him/her to OPPOSE S.B. 453.
9. TEXAS-PROHIBITIONS ON COCKFIGHTING (H.B. 1320). SUPPORT.Â
H.B. 1320 would make it illegal to own or operate a facility used for cockfighting. It would also make it illegal to own cockfighting equipment to train birds to fight, or to attend a cockfight.
ACTION: TEXAS RESIDENTS. Please contact your state representative to urge his/her YES vote on H.B. 1320 by Rep. Wayne Christian. (Thank you Rep. Christian).
