“Would like to see what the reaction would be for some to see how male piglets are cut or how bulls become steers. Would that treatment also be considered torture(sic) by some posters?”

I once described the best/common method of castrating hogs and the post lasted about 20 sec before it was removed.

Too many people know nothing about farming and can’t deal with reality.

This California law passed in 2008 & even those Calif egg farms don’t have to comply until next year===2015.

The idea that one state can pas a law within their own boundaries & demand that ALL STATES comply with their state law is just plain ludicrous.

There are enough bad things happening in Calif. IF I were raising a large number of chickens for the eggs in another state, I would tell Calif to pound sand.

There has to be an end to the power of the stupids in Sacramento.

Caging chickens 24 hours a day for their entire lives, just doesn’t seem to me to be the way that God intended that these creatures be treated”””

God also created coyotes!!!

There has to be a reasonable middle ground.

“Nor will it change my impression of you”

Same for me. My guess is that you live in a double wide and have to “go outside to use the bathroom.”

Well, we can start with the animal having at least enough room for it to walk around, or is that too radical for you?

No, the fact is subjecting an animal to a life where it cannot even move around is cruelty, by any normal standards, except for you ‘true’ conservatives.

“And eventually everyone will finally realize that this is really, really stupid.”

Dreamer.

At least a third of the populace will demand more regulation as a solution and denounce the free market as the cause.

“The hypothetical MO farmer is not compelled to only sell his eggs to people in CA.”

Isn’t the rule for any company which produces eggs sold in CA, not just for the actual eggs sold in CA?

Raised and sold, which includes imports. This will be a Commerce Clause issue.

Yup. Too radical. Or should I say, having your buddies in big government make the decision for everybody, that’s too “radical.”

I can’t believe the statists pouring out of the woodwork on this thread. I have a tip for you: Read this thread before you start popping off.

Apparently we smoked out another one. This one’s a bonus catch. Pretty soon we’re going to have to start tossing them back.

>> “That can’t be right. Unless EBT allowances are raised, these requirements mean that food stamp users get less food for their EBT dollar.” <<

.
The whole article is absurd on its face.

This is how conservatives get branded as morons.

Proposition 2 has vastly improved the quality of eggs in California. The regular everyday eggs from California are now of better quality than any of the so-called “organic” eggs from other states.

LOL!

“Cal Eggs,” the brand sold at Costco, and most major supermarkets are about $1.50 per dozen in California, and are of considerably higher quality than “organic” brands from other states.

Being humane is now unconservative, I guess.

Some of these kooks here can’t be real.
