A Blow To Livestock Factories
In Arizona, humane treatment of farm animals won the day when
voters cast their ballot in favor of Proposition 204, which bans
gestation crates for breeding pigs and veal crates for young
calves. Agribusiness and other special interests spent $2.5
million to defeat Proposition 204. It is the second state in the
nation to ban gestation crates and the first state to ban veal
crates. The vote was 61 percent in favor and only 39 percent
opposed.
