The federal government is carrying out a multi-part war on overwhelmingly popular state-level animal welfare laws. These laws include California's Prop 12 and Massachusetts' Question 3 which require egg laying hens, pigs, and other animals to have enough space to lie down, stand up, extend their limbs, and turn around. In other words, the federal government is trying to outlaw efforts by states to ban locking animals in cages too small to turn around in.
In other words, the federal government is trying to outlaw efforts by states to ban locking animals in cages too small to turn around in. Of course, were a person to lock a dog in a crate too small to turn around in for its entire life, they'd be unquestionably jailed for animal abuse. But the federal government, under the pay of big agriculture, is trying to mandate that states allow animals to be treated like unfeeling objects, and subjected to grotesque cruelty.
