Yes on Prop 2!

My sincere apologies for the delay in updates - the last few weeks have been super crazy. Have no fear, though, I have several great posts in the works - starting with this!

In two weeks, Californians will have an opportunity to stop the inhumane and cruel treatment of farm animals by voting yes on Proposition 2.

In California alone, 20 million animals suffer in intensive confinement inside battery cages, gestation crates, and veal crates. As the Prop 2 campaign explains, calves are tethered by the neck and can barely move, pigs in severe confinement bite the metal bars of their crates, and hens get trapped and even impaled in their wire cages. Proposition 2 would prohibit this type of confinement and ensure animals have space to spread their wings (if applicable!), lie down, and stretch their limbs...

It doesn't sound like much to ask, but unfortunately Big Agribusiness and its various fat wallets have funded numerous misleading ads and are trying to persuade Californians to vote no. The opposition is using scare tactics by claiming that Prop 2 would give police powers to animal rights activists, jobs would be lost, and the measure would increase the risk of bird flu. What a disgrace. Not surprisingly, the top supporters of NO on Prop 2 ahave terrible records on animal cruelty.

While Prop 2 will only be on California ballots, the impact of a YES verdict will set higher standards for industry and demonstrate that people will not stand for cruel and inhumane practices. Learn more!
