A proposed amendment to Florida's constitution seeks to limit the "cruel and inhumane confinement of pigs during pregnancy." The ballot initiative would specifically outlaw caging pigs in gestation crates on so-called "corporate factory farms." Gestation crates are metal enclosures that measure two feet across and prevent sows from turning around freely. The crates cause them to suffer from crippling foot and joint disorders, and to experience chronic stress, depression and other psychological disorders throughout their four-month pregnancy, according to advocates.

This is what I see and I don't care how it's stopped. MAybe it wouldn't have had to go this far if the stupid farmers would have changed their 'pen size' on their own...but I guess it takes an admendment to MAKE them have a little heart. So blame them for 'just saying no'.
