Cramming Animals Into Tiny Cages is Cruel and Inhumane

Issue(s): Animals
Problem description

It is common practice on factory farms to cram animals into cages so small the animals can’t even turn around or extend their limbs.

  • Veal crates
    In order to produce veal, most calves are taken from their mothers when they are just hours or days old and then tethered by their necks in crates too narrow for them to turn around or even lie down comfortably. Virtually immobilized and prevented from engaging in natural behavior, they suffer immensely.
  • Gestation crates

Uncaging the Truth

Forum topic related to:

This past week, I campaigned in California for Proposition 2—the November ballot initiative to combat the intensive confinement of certain animals on factory farms. In the middle of the trip was a public forum in San Luis Obispo before several members of the Senate and Assembly Agriculture Committees, led by Senator Abel Maldonado and including Prop 2 supporter Senator Dean Florez.
