> Dear Mrs. R,
>
> Today, I have some very exciting news to share with you: the use of gestation
> crates to continuously confine pregnant pigs will be phased out in Canada!
> This landmark decision affects more than one million animals, and is the most
> significant victory to date in our campaign to fight against factory farming.
>
> A monumental step»
>
> Keeping mother pigs in tiny gestation crates for nearly their entire lives is
> one of the cruelest practices used in agriculture. The adoption of the
> National Farm Animal Care Council's group housing standard represents a
> massive accomplishment for animals and their welfare.
>
> Although this is a great step, we still have much to do to improve the lives
> of the 700 million farm animals raised for food in Canada each year. If you
> haven’t already, please like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter, and
> please consider donating to help us reach even more farm animals in Canada.
>
> With your support, we will keep fighting for them.
