Not only did humans score a huge victory last night with the election of Barack Obama to the presidency of the United States, animals scored big also. In California, the much talked about Proposition 2 passed last night. This law abolishes some of the horrific standards that have infiltrated the meat industry with respect to pigs, chickens and veal calves.
From an article on Market Watch on the passing of the law:
“The YES! on Prop 2 campaign has been the greatest undertaking on behalf of farm animals in U.S. history, raising enough public awareness and support to end three of the cruelest confinement systems with one ballot measure in spite of massive funding from the industry–backed opposition.”
