Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates. Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023. Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state. The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices. Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at senate.gov and house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.

Fantastic to see this cage-free progress from the fourth-largest US supermarket company! This is a meaningful win for an estimated 5–7 million hens.
Lewis Bollard@Lewis_Bollard

US supermarket giant Ahold Delhaize (Food Lion, Giant, Stop & Shop) is taking major new steps to eliminate cages from its supply chain. A decade ago, most top US food companies pledged to end gestation crates for pigs and battery cages for hens — extreme confinement systems that 85%+ of Americans oppose. Many followed through. Costco and McDonald's are now almost entirely cage-free and crate-free, which they've achieved without raising prices. But the five biggest US supermarket owners — Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, Ahold Delhaize, and Aldi — all missed their 2025 cage-free deadlines. Ahold was amongst the worst. It insisted it would now go cage-free by 2032 but refused to share any plans or progress. (We now know it was at just 25% cage-free.) Advocates spent the past year educating Ahold’s customers about the reality behind the eggs it sells under labels like “farm fresh” (none disclose that they're from caged animals). Today Ahold reversed course. It published clear milestones to reach 100% cage-free eggs — and reported significant progress on eliminating gestation crates. Of course, these changes should have happened years ago. It shouldn't have required a campaign for Ahold to fulfill its own animal welfare policies. But this is real progress. It will spare millions of hens and pigs from a lifetime in immobilizing cages and crates. Huge credit to the advocates who held Ahold accountable and made this happen. Now it's time for Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, and Aldi to follow suit.

Despite hundreds of the biggest food companies pledging to go cage-free by 2025, the share of cage-free egg stands at 48%. Why? Blame grocery stores.

Yesterday, the animal protection movement secured a policy from a major grocery retailer. Hens and pigs will no longer be subjected to a life trapped inside a tiny cage. This is a step forward and will begin a shift of this sector. 🙌🐔 Thank you @pgrocer for covering. progressivegrocer.com/ahold-delhaize…

Starved so their mother’s milk can be sold 🐄💔 Calves are taken at birth and denied the milk they need. Male calves in India are starved to death—simply because they can’t produce milk. 🌍 Watch & share our latest investigation ➡️ animalequality.org/news/2026/02/0…
