Protect Animals from Unnecessary Suffering
and Exploitation
By extending current animal abuse laws from pets to farmed animals, we can protect them from abuse.
Focus of the Campaign
The PAUSE campaign is a ballot initiative filed for the 2022 mid-term election. Current animal abuse laws have a complete exception for farmed animals. The focus of this campaign is to define animal abuse for farmed animals; while allowing for animal agriculture to exist.
If enacted, the amended statutes would extend the basic animal abuse laws already written for dogs and cats to cows, pigs, chickens, etc. A subsection is added to maintain an exception for slaughter once the animal has reached adulthood.
