Polis appoints activist to vet board, signs egg bill ( Colorado )
Fence Post magazine ^ | July 9, 2020 | Rachel Gabel

Posted on 07/09/2020 9:30:13 AM PDT by george76

Colorado's First Gentleman Marlon Reis and Ellen Kessler, an animal activist who has been appointed to a position on the State Board of Veterinary Medicine

...

Kessler is a self-proclaimed animal rights activist .. “Vegan AF” and “Extreme. Annoying. Vegan.” Kessler posted support of the recently signed HB 20-1343 Egg-laying Hen Confinement Standards, calling the legislation a baby step “to get to the true goal of animal lovers and that is to not keep chickens for eggs nor food.”

The board Gov. Polis appointed Kessler to regulates and licenses veterinarians ... The board activities include licensing veterinarians, investigating complaints about licensed and unlicensed practice of veterinary medicine, disciplining violators of the law and/or the board’s rules ... The board is made up of five veterinarians and two public members.

...

Terry Fankhauser, executive vice president of the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association said he has concerns with Kessler’s ability to objectively evaluate issues related to food animal practitioners given her clear opposition to animal agriculture.

...

This appointment comes on the heels of the passage of HB 20-1343, requiring all eggs sold in the state to come from a cage free environment.

...

creating an interstate commerce violation, and opening the state to lawsuits similar to the one filed against California

...

animal rights activists’ approach is nothing less than mafia-style coercion and political pressure to pass a bad bill under a governor who clearly doesn’t care for animal agriculture.

...

Holtorf fears this has kicked the door open for other activist groups to set their sights on Colorado’s producer families.

This is not a Colorado solution to a Colorado problem.. This is an activist organized attack on production agriculture and is a solution looking for a problem.”

.....................................................

I detest chicken and like eggs. My solution? I refrain from eating chicken and eat all the eggs I want. How numb nut liberals don’t understand that concept escapes me.

‘Cage free’ is still in a building, but in group pens. They can’t be outside, exposed to wild birds and diseases and temperature swings. They still peck each others’ feathers off.

This issue was created, and plays on ‘Consumer Guilt’, and paying more for eggs as penance for that faux guilt (insert picture of Karen here).
