California bacon law takes effect

A California law approved by voters that promises to get breeding pigs out of narrow cages that prevent them from standing or turning will finally take effect Saturday, after years of delays and warnings that the rules could lead to price spikes and pork shortages.

But it will be six months before California grocery shoppers can be sure that pork chops they buy under the new law will be from a pig whose mother wasn’t confined in a so-called gestation crate.

That’s because while the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the law, the state recently agreed to allow pork slaughtered before July 1 to be sold in California markets and restaurants for the rest of the year. That decision gives farmers and grocery stores time to adjust. But it’s exasperating to supporters of the new rules that the effective implementation of the law would again be delayed — four years after voters approved it.

I bought about 10 pounds of bacon two days ago for the freezer as a hedge. Being here in neighboring Nevada, we’ll be quicking impacted by price spikes.

If you ask me there are way too many “breeding pigs” in California of the two-legged variety!

“”A California law approved by voters?””

I don’t think so. They mean the voting machines and the corrupt people running them did this.

I wonder how this guy will fare if they pass a similar law in New Jersey.

Btw, this was stage attire for NJ resident Bobby Steele, ex-Misfit and leader of the punk band The Undead. Totally approve.

No law to protect the preborn humans though.

Do we even allow people in California to eat bacon. Shouldn’t they be dieting on Kale/banana smoothies with chia seeds or something?

I imagine somewhere in hidden forests in California there are actually bacon eaters that still exist. That is until someone reports them to the overlords.

We just took delivery on half a pig who was raised in a pasture.

The reason this is done is to prevent the mama sow from
laying down on or rolling over on her baby piglets
and killing them.
Now, more baby piglets will die!

I was at that show…it was Tompkins Square Park in Manhattan. Bobby indicated that a fan GAVE it to him that summer. The sound was KILLER.

Here is a clip - When the Evening Comes.

Btw Bobby is born again and conservative, even though he swears like a punk. He’s the real deal.
