PCC joined 354 health, agriculture, environment, animal protection, religious, and other interest groups to sign on in support of the Preservation of Antibiotics for Medical Treatment Act (PAMTA, H.R. 1549/S. 619).
To the Pierce County Conservation District, supporting efforts to establish a USDA Mobile Meat Processing Unit to support ranchers in the south Puget Sound area.
To U.S. House and Senate committee members, urging support for S. 549 and HR 962; legislation would restrict antibiotics as a feed-additive for livestock. The 2007 bill is the latest of several similar efforts, with signatories added over the years.
Thank you to Congressman Sherrod Brown, re: sponsorship of HR 3266, the Preservation of Essential Antibiotics for Human Diseases Act.
