The new standard backed by animal rights advocates has drawn ire nationwide because farmers in Iowa, Ohio and other states who sell eggs in California have to abide by the same requirements.

EffEm. Don't sell them eggs.

That would be a great way to show Californicans the consequences of their ways.

Just keep it all market driven.

Perhaps some farmer will do the analysis and come to the conclusion it would be better to have two sets of cages and charge the Californicans the increase and the rest of the market at the normal prices.

Naw. What will happen is those who sell to california will have a separate area for chickens laying for California and charge more for them. When a government requires all providers of a good or service to do something that costs “x” dollars per unit, then the cost to consumers will be increased by “x+y” dollars, “Y” being the extra profit each provider chooses to tack on. It may be zero, but they will all be increased by “x”.

What is wrong with making sure the poor chickens that supply you eggs have a decent life? Just because the chicken farmers don’t want to do a little exercise, these poor birds are supposed to exist stacked upon each other pooping on each other existing just to provide eggs for fat people? No. I agree with this law and animal lovers the world wide do too. Chicken farmers, move into modern times.

when it comes to animals, I find myself agreeing with the most extreme elements of peta, or some shyster law professor at Harvard who wants to give mice constitutional rights.
keeping chickens in claustrophobic conditions for their entire lives is inhumane.
and I know most of you disagree.
may you all come back as chickens.

Texas should announce they will pick up KKKalifornias slack. If it screws KKKalifornia, I’ll eat another egg a week.
