I've been trying to find polling data on Proposition2, but this is all I could find. on Prop 2 campaign reports a tidal wave of voter and donor support from Californians backing the effort to stop the cruel and inhumane treatment of animals on industrial factory farms. Chief economist? That's so cool!
Again, thanks to FarmedAnimal Net for this update on California's proposition2. California’s Proposition2 is not solely about the California egg business but is also about the egg industry’s national survival, warned Gene Gregory at the annual legislative meeting of United Egg Producers (UEP).
How many people know this about the Animal Welfare Act? No wonder there is so much "farm" animal abuse out there. The only cool thing is that Gene Bauer's views on the meat industry are so similar to those expressed on this blog a few weeks ago. I certainly didn't.
Issue 2 in Ohio would create 13-member state board to oversee the care of farmanimals in the State. The Humane Society and other groups oppose it as a power grab by big agriculture to prevent another Proposition2 (the initiative passed last year in California to improve standards for farmanimal care.)
Basically, it sounds like the ag committee will be including food safety and animal welfare concerns in their discussions. The ag industry does NOT like this. There is definitely a new tide in California, post Proposition2. Tags: california bile farmingfarmanimal welfare agribusiness food.
Last week there was a slew of articles about the agreement in Ohio between the farmindustry and animal welfare activists to expand cage sizes for calves (veal), hens and pigs. This concession was to avoid a November ballot vote a la California's Proposition2.
9): Thank you for encouraging California voters to support the state’s Prevention of FarmAnimal Cruelty Act, or Proposition2, on the November ballot. Proposition2 is a modest step that deserves voter support and extension to other states. Consumer boycotts and protective laws are desperately needed.
Animals raised for food suffer miserably. The overwhelming passage in November of Proposition2 in California, which banned tight confinement of many of the animals raised for food, is a fine example of the power of publicity to educate people about the atrocities we commit to those animals who have no voice of their own.
