Tell the House You Care for Hens

The following message from the Humane Society of the United States calls for action toward humane hens. Some great cause there!

The House of Representatives will soon take up its version of the Farm Bill, and it’s a critical time to continue our fight for a national change in the U.S. egg-laying industry. We need every member of the House to hear from constituents who support better treatment of laying hens. H.R. 1731, The Egg Products Inspection Act Amendments of 2013, would nearly double the amount of space each hen receives, require labeling on egg cartons to tell consumers how birds were raised, and more.

A simple phone call could significantly help improve the lives of these suffering birds. Can you make a brief, polite phone call to Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (202) 225-0855 and urge co-sponsorship of The Egg Products Inspection Act Amendments of 2013, H.R. 1731?

And remember your follow-up message is just as critical.

Thank you for being a hero for these hens.
