Give them rooters more space.

[ealgeone]

I want my eggs and bacon to stay on my plate! Not running around.

[ClearCase_guy]

Maybe we should just eat insects.

[Spok]

It’s just a pretext to ban pork and eggs. Eventually eating meat will be criminalized, like not being vaccinated. Unless it’s stopped, our future is clear.

For us in Paso Robles, that means the local farms make out. Space is here for the chickens, pigs and cattle.

[Ron H.]

No one state should be permitted to enact a law that affects the rest of the nation in the way this one will do.

[know.your.why]

In north Alabama we have chicken processing plants. It is difficult to watch the semi trucks live-haul 5,000 chickens down the highways on the way to slaughter. I’ve seen em in 13 degree F weather. Geeze its weird.

Mail Order Pork, Pork Smuggling, Back-yard in-humane slaughter, business travelers hauling pork on planes, and more trips to Vegas to spend money on pork.

The demographics of California will get their pork one way or another.

[crz]

It is clear the stupidity of ignorant retarded city slickers.

Any Hog farmers want to explain why sows are put in farrowing crates?

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

Californians can’t get bacon? This should bring the price down for the rest of us.

[Leaning Right]

> breeding pigs, egg-laying chickens and veal calves be given enough space to stand and turn around <

Man, I’m torn on this one. That does not seem to be an unreasonable thing. (I spent summers on a family farm as a kid. So I’m no stranger to the process.)

But I really dislike Big Brother government. So if I were in the California Assembly when this bill came up, I don’t know how I’d vote.

“Mail Order Pork, Pork Smuggling, Back-yard in-humane slaughter, business travelers hauling pork on planes, and more trips to Vegas to spend money on pork.”

Doable, but risky as they already have agricultural inspections at their state borders.

[Mr Rogers]

I’ve got friends on a farm who keep a few pigs for their own eating (also cattle and sheep for sale). They don’t have huge pens but there is plenty of room for them to move around. I tend to agree with this law. Pigs are intelligent animals and keeping them in a space where they can’t turn around seems cruel. If I need to pay more for bacon, well, it IS an essential food!

[Dr. Sivana]

No one state should be permitted to enact a law that affects the rest of the nation in the way this one will do.

It will take a couple of years, but California will just lose livestock the way it has been losing battery manufacturing and chip foundries. I am not even counting the general anti-business tax/regulation environment.

[Deaf Smith]

So the sows do not roll over on the piglets and crush them.

Worst part is this in Not from The Onion.

[9YearLurker]

I’m with you! No need to abuse animals, let alone for slightly cheaper food!
