Claustrophobic Food

New York Assembly Bill 8163 will phase-out pig gestation crates, veal crates and hen battery cages by 2015, and will prohibit any person from tethering or confining any pig during pregnancy, any calf raised for veal, or egg-laying hen who is kept on a farm in a manner that prevents such animal from lying down, standing up and fully extending its limbs and turning around freely. Violations of the law will be punishable by imprisonment for a period not to exceed one year and/or fines up to $1,000.

Animals shouldn't be stuck in pens where they are immobile and have to hang out in their own feces. This video has footage that really gives you a sense of how bad animals have it. Bill 8163 could do much to change how farmers in New York do things. Unfortunately, the Assembly's Ag Committee is prob in bed with bigAg interest. For more info: ab8163.com
