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<br \/>\nprogram 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.
