Starting next year, Golden State residents are going to have a lot less pork options to eat resulting from a ballot initiative passed in 2018. According to the Associated Press, 2022 is when rules for a ballot proposition requiring more space for pigs, chickens who lay eggs, and veal calves.
While nationally-based pork food producers can meet the new requirements,the AP states only a fraction of hog operators are in compliance. Consequently, California not only stands to lose almost its entire pork supply most of which is shipped in from Iowa in which pork meat production costs stand to go very high. One farmer interviewed by the AP stated he would have to raise his pig selling prices an additional $20 in order to cover the costs.
With pork no longer available in California, it not only will hurt local restaurants and state supermarkets very hard, but porn prices nationwide could go up very high since porn meat production companies have lots millions of customers. The AP also reports the National Porn Producers Council has gone to court to get the new laws struck down, has applied for aid from the U.S. Department of Agriculture in order to help their members pay for upgrades to comply with the law, and has even asked Governor Gavin Newsom to delay the new pork rules.
The so-called California Humane Society essentially thumbed its nose at the pork product makers, essentially saying suck it up. They and other so-called animal rights groups got the initiative on the ballot and probably misrepresented what it was about. People like the so-called Humane Society and PETA don't have to live with the consequences of their actions and have well paying jobs paid for by millionaires and billionaires to their nonprofits.
Hopefully, this new laws will be delayed or struck down. This is another demonstration that animal rights groups are not about the humane treatment of animals, but are actually about the animalistic treatment of humans.
