| Amendment to House Energy Bill, H.R. 4 | ANWR - An amendment to the House Energy Bill to strike language that would repeal existing protections against energy development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). | Support | Voted against amendment | Rejected by House on August 1, 2001. | |
| Amendment to House Farm Bill | CAFOs - An amendment to the House Farm Bill to boost conservation funding and protect wildlife habitat. A component of the amendment would have preserved the prior law prohibition on large concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) receiving Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) funds for manure disposal. | Support | Voted against amendment | Rejected by House on October 4, 2001. | |
| H.R. 2646 | FARM BILL - Although the House and Senate passed several pro-animal provisions as part of the Farm Bill, a conference committee that was charged with reconciling the differences between the House version and the Senate version knocked out provisions that would have protected "downed animals", dogs mistreated at puppy mills, and bears killed for their internal organs. Because of this, and because an anti-animal provision that excludes birds, rats, and mice from protections under the Animal Welfare Act was included, PVA chose to oppose final passage of the Farm Bill. | Oppose | Voted against final passage | Approved by House on May 2, 2002; signed into law on May 13, 2002 | |
