URGENT: Please forward this email immediately so we can reach hundreds of thousands of Florida voters with this simple electronic message asking people to vote YES on 10 to stop animal cruelty.

VOTE YES ON 10 
The Animal Cruelty Amendment
 
Stop animal cruelty by voting to ban inhumane and unnecessary gestation crates used to severely confine breeding sows on industrialized pig factories.

 
Cruelty to animals is morally wrong whether you re talking about pets or farm animals.
On industrial hog factories, pigs are commonly kept in gestation crates - two-foot by seven-foot metal cages that don t even allow the animals to turn around. Unable to exercise or move - and spending up to three years in the gestation crate - the pigs suffer severe physical and psychological ailments. The measure bans only gestation crates, not farrowing crates, as opponents have falsely claimed. Humane Societies across Florida and The Humane Society of United States have endorsed Amendment 10.

Corporate hog factories pollute the environment.
Hog factories produce massive amounts of animal waste, polluting water and putrefying the air. If voters approve Amendment 10, we'll prevent mega hog factories from wreaking environmental havoc in Florida. The Florida Sierra Club has endorsed Amendment 10. 

Many pig farmers treat animals well and do not use gestation crates.
Small farmers traditionally allow hogs to move around and to graze on pasture. This measure targets large factory farms that are displacing small family farms.
