California’s Farm Animal Proposition

As the race for the presidency grows more heated, Proposition 2—an initiative co-sponsored by the Humane Society of the United States requiring improved treatment for farmed animals in California—also remains a hot issue. If passed, the law requires that all farmed animals in the state be allowed to stand up, lie down, and stretch their limbs by 2015. The passing of this legislation could set a precedent for similar measures in states around the country. Voting in California next week? Rock the vote and knock out battery cages and gestation crates—for good.
