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 for final passage	Approved by House on May 2, 2002; signed into law on May 13, 2002
