California’s Prop 2 Passes!
In early October, I posted a blog entry urging California voters to vote yes on prop 2. As someone who loves animals very much, this prop was really important to me. I am glad to report back and say that yesterday (Tuesday, November 4, 2008), California voters passed prop 2, a measure that will improve the standards of confining practices for CA farm animals. I tracked the polls last night on California’s propositions, and ‘yes’ on prop 2 led the way with a pretty wide margin even from the beginning. Take that agri-corporations!

Even farm animals, those raised for food, can experience a more decent quality of life. This measure isn’t going to solve all the problems associated with cruel treatment of animals in factory farms, but it’s a step towards the right direction. Animal rights supporters and organizations can now add this onto their list of achievements for bettering the lives of many animals in the food industry.

“All animals, including those raised for food, deserve humane treatment.”

Thank you to all the California voters who voted yes on prop 2! We did it!

P.S. I am aware that three-fourths or 75% of props that pass get overturned by the courts, but I am confident that prop 2 (Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act) will not be short-lived.
