I am proud to have earned a perfect score on the Humane Society’s scorecard in the 108th and 109th Congresses. I am also pleased to be a co-sponsor of the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act, and the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act. In the 108th and 109th Congresses, I spearheaded efforts to study the effects of certain antibiotics in animal feeds and to prohibit the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) from buying chickens for the federal school lunch
program that have been injected with cipro-like antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. I have also called for decisions about where CAFOs (Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations) can be located to be made at the local community level. In addition, I have proposed a comprehensive plan to address global warming by reducing global warming pollution by 80% below 1990 levels by mid-century. Our nation and the world’s habitat will be severely impacted unless we take steps to address this planetary emergency.
