Did you know that an estimated 70 percent of all antibiotics used in the United States are regularly added to the feed of livestock and poultry that are not sick-a practice with serious consequences for our health? Bacteria that are constantly exposed to antibiotics develop antibiotic resistance. This means that when humans get sick from resistant bacteria, the antibiotics prescribed by doctors don't work.

Right now, the Senate is set to renew a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) program that funds the review of new animal drug applications. We need your support to urge landmark Senate legislation that could finally stem antibiotic overuse in confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and preserve these precious drugs for future generations.

Please email your Senators today and tell them to pass a bill that includes provisions to protect human health and keep antibiotics working!
