In 2017, the Trump administration sided with Big Ag in abolishing a new rule that would increase federal regulation of organic livestock.
This animal welfare rule -- known as the Organic Livestock and Poultry Standards rule (OLPS) -- would enforce high standards for organic farms, like providing animals with real outdoor access, ample space to move around, and even protection from unnecessary physical alterations.
While most organic farmers already meet these standards, this animal welfare rule would provide peace of mind for consumers by guaranteeing that Big Ag can’t find loopholes in the standard and that all farms that use the organic label are held to the highest standards.
We have a real chance at getting this critical rule reinstated to SAVE organic animals and hold Big Ag accountable for their deception -- but we urgently need 2,814 more signatures from environmentalists like you to help push the USDA to enact it immediately! Take action now! >>
