Gestation crates are so cruel that they have been outlawed in other countries but, surprisingly, they remain common in the United States. The practice of keeping a female pig in a constant state of pregnancy and confined in a tiny crate for her entire life should be illegal.

She should at least have a double-wide and maybe a satellite dish.

My problem with stunts like this is (1) this is NOT an issue that belongs in any constitution, not even Florida's, and (2) hardly anyone who votes on this matter ON EITHER SIDE understands what they are voting for or against. This belongs on the Florida legislature's agricultural committee where knowledgeable people who understand the issue can argue both sides over a period of time and decide if there are regulations that make sense. I imagine Flordia has anti-cruelty laws, and if someone thinks this is cruelty to animals, they should swear out a warrant. It does NOT belong on a ballot initiative or a constitutional amendment.
