FLORIDA: SB 1636 PROTECTION OF FARM ANIMALS

SB 1636 : Protection of Farm Animals
Senate Bill 1636, introduced by Senator Mike Bennett, would prohibit the tethering or confining of an animal on a farm for all or the majority of any day in a manner that prevents the animal from lying down, standing up, turning around freely, or fully extending his or her limbs. If passed, the ban on cruel confinement would go into effect for calves raised for veal in October 2012 and for egg-laying hens in July 2020.

Status: S 1636 was filed on March 3.

Please thank Sen. Bennett for introducing this very important bill that would improve the lives of millions of animals in Florida farms.
