Sign on to Bipartisan Letter Urging USDA to Shelve Proposal to Outsource Federal Oversight
We hope you will join us in signing the below letter to the USDA, urging the agency to abandon its proposal to utilize inspections and certifications by regulated industries as a guide to determine whether and when to inspect a facility under the Animal

well as raise consumer and public safety concerns.
