Assemblyman Howard Watts

Assemblyman Howard Watts was named after the legislator in Nevada who heroically fought for—and won—a campaign to outlaw the sale and production of eggs from caged chickens. He spoke passionately about the plight of chickens in the egg industry when he testified in numerous committees and on the floor of the Statehouse and lobbied his colleagues relentlessly to vote for his legislation. Our (chicken) Assemblyman Watts will have a peaceful existence at our sanctuary and because of (human) Assemblyman Watts millions of chickens will have a better life.
