New Stamp!

Stamp out factory farms!
One way to stamp out factory farming: on your letters. No federal law protects these animals from cruelty while on the farm, and the majority of states exempt customary agricultural practices—no matter how abusive—from the scope of their animal cruelty statutes. The welfare of farm animals often loses out to the economic interests of factory farmers who can make larger profits by intensively confining animals and breeding them for rapid growth with little regard for the amount of suffering the animals endure.
