Senate Bill Introduced to Preserve Antibiotics: “Human health is threatened by the overuse of antibiotics in animal agriculture. Urge your Senators to support S. 2508 which will protect these vital medicines. Today, farm animals are routinely fed antibiotics for growth promotion and to compensate for crowded living conditions. Such misuse contributes to the dangerous growth of antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains that cause serious illness in humans.” Center for Science in the Public Interest
