On the surface prop. 2 sounds innocent enough but thinking about it it is just another step in creeping socialism.
There are plenty of places where you can buy food that comes from animals that were treated humanely. Every grocery store has free range eggs, milk, meats etc.
Let the free market push the other food producers into being more humane, not the govermnent.
I voted no on this (absentee)last week.
rivercat and Ugot2Bkidding,
Prop. 2:
If this proposition passes, who will enforce it? Does this mean animal control or law enforcement can enter your home/property without cause if someone complains, or if there is suspicion?
glock_fan,
“On the surface prop. 2 sounds innocent enough but thinking about it it is just another step in creeping socialism.”
Precisely.
You will notice that the language used is to emotionally manipulate the voter. Who wants to deprive animals of humane treatment? No law abiding citizen. This plays on peoples affections towards animals.
We once had a neighbor down the street whom wanted to rent a house just for the stray cats she collected. Her neighbor (a good friend of ours) had rabbits, a dog, and chickens. Often times, when the dog was outside, it would corner the chickens and take their eggs. The Cat Woman usually called the house and frantically protested, “The dog is KILLING the chickens!!” You couldn’t find a dog gone(pun intended) feather let alone drumsticks scattered all over the lawn.
Now, under this prop., will that call warrant an arrest or citation?
Law abiding American’s shouldn’t have the government overseeing their conduct when it comes to our animals, or anything else for that matter.
They should concern themselves with trying to balance the state/federal budget.
