New rules on pork production will lead to regional shortages.
Bay State voters in 2016 approved a referendum that would prohibit the sale of products from farms that confine “any breeding pig [sow], calf raised for veal, or egg-laying hen in a way that prevents the animal from lying down, standing up, fully extending its limbs, or turning around freely.” Hog farmers would be most affected since nearly all are housed in individual pens.
“There’s so many things that there’s shortages on, it’s almost like throwing salt on a wound,”
...If Massachusetts can prohibit the sale and mere distribution of meat produced by out-of-state farms, why couldn’t it do the same for goods manufactured by businesses that don’t follow its more onerous labor regulations? Or how about products made with coal power?

Phil Garner (manager of Detroit Tigers, Houston Astros & Milwaukee Brewers) said:
No matter how big the hog is, you’d better bring home the bacon.
Don’t take bacon away from Gay State citizens, it will be April 19, 1775 all over again.

Idiots. I am not aware of any hogs raised in individual pens, and in pens so small they cant move around ..am i missing something?
What kind of person would confine an animal as described?
The kind I don’t want to know, and would do nothing to help if they were in need.
Try telling Hispanics or Italians they can’t have pork.
I wonder how many other States have laws like this?????
The only time a hog may be confined is when a sow would be farrowing. I would need to read the particulars on this law but the statement that nearly all are confined is bs
In a few more months there will be famine issues showing up here in the USA. A major drouth exists in Europe and here in the USA. Meat and other food issues will show up in a few months. There is only a 24 hour food supply in stores and 90 day supply in major distribution warehouses. Get ready.
Why is a little compassion for an animal you’re going to eat controversial? I voted Trump but I am all laws that stop barbaric treatment of sentient beings.
You should move to MA if you don’t already live there
What kind of person would confine an animal as described?
I believe Kalifornistan does. These laws are unconstitutional I. That they try to regulate activities in other states.
