Repost from @squillalily using @RepostRegramApp - I have trouble watching these videos but I must because it is all part of building a knowledge base that is founded on truth and objective reality. Their lives and deaths dictated by human whim and folly and ignorance, really, of the facts. ❤️People don’t want to believe the truths - or look or know more -because it would completely negate their “it’s my choice” absurdity with regard to defending the practice of animal slaughter for food we DO NOT need. ......And is scientifically proven to be unhealthy for humans. If you don’t care about the animals don’t you care about your own health? ❤️And for those people who say that they do care about animals and love animals then it is your responsibility to know what it is you’re defending if you eat meat and dairy - it is your responsibility to look at the videos and to understand the truth of what happens to these animals lives and deaths for no other reason than your personal taste 🔥🔥🔥🔥which is no reason at all for their death and their miserable, miserable, cruel lives. Repost from @skylands_sanctuary using @RepostRegramApp - These girls are “gestation sows”.

Massachusetts Voters Pass Historic Animal Protection Law

Massachusetts voters on Tuesday passed a landmark law to protect farm animals from intensive confinement. 

The initiative will eventually prohibit farming methods that keep animals severely constrained for virtually their entire lives, including the use of veal crates for baby calves, gestation crates for mother pigs and battery cages for egg-laying hens.

Eleven states have passed bans on one or more of those practices. The Massachusetts measure will outlaw all three, and then go further. It will also bar the sale of meat and eggs produced using those methods, even from animals that were farmed outside the state.

Public polls consistently showed the measure receiving strong support, and while several agribusiness groups opposed the initiative, they spent little to campaign against it.

Farms and businesses have until 2022 to comply with the new requirements.

Mercy for Animals

Mother pigswill often spend most of their livesin gestationcrates, unable to turn around or lie down naturally, let alone practice typical social behaviors. The cratesallow largeindustrial farms to make efficient use of space and streamline feeding.

California is the only state that currently bans the sale of food products over animal cruelty concerns, and its law applies only to eggs from caged hens. 

The Massachusetts law, which includes veal and pork, is the broadest of its kind in the U.S. and probably the world, according to Paul Shapiro, head of the farm animal welfare campaign at the Humane Society of the United States, which spearheaded the ballot drive. 

Roughly 9 billion animals are killed for food in the United States each year, and just one decades-old federal law governs their humane treatment.

That law applies exclusively to the moment when livestock are slaughtered; it says nothing about how farm animals should be treated during the rest of their lives, from birth onward. It also completely exempts chickens and other animals that make up well over 90 percent of the animals slaughtered.

Thus, it is perfectly legal for female pigs, among the most cognitively complex and socially sophisticated animals, to be repeatedly impregnated and held in small crates for months on end, unable to respond to their most basic instincts.

Likewise, each year, hundreds of millions of egg-laying hens spend their lives inside wire cages so small they cannot flap their wings. Peter Singer, a professor of bioethics at Princeton University, refers to caged hens as “the most closely confined, overcrowded and generally miserable animals in America.”

The past decade has seen a wave of reforms to improve some conditions for these animals. America’s largest veal and pork producers have agreed to phase out intensive confinement, and in the last two years every major grocery and fast-food chain in the country has pledged to use only cage-free eggs.

But these corporate reforms are entirely voluntary. Measures like the one in Massachusetts are needed to cement those changes, Shapiro said.

Massachusetts Voters Pass Historic Animal Protection Law

Massachusetts voters on Tuesday passed a landmark law to safeguard farm creatures from intensive confinement.&nbsp

The initiative will ultimately stop farming techniques that keep creatures&nbspseverely constrained for virtually their entire lives, including using veal crates for baby calves, pregnancy crates for mother pigs and battery cages for egg-lounging hens.

Eleven states have passed&nbspbans on one or more of those practices. The Massachusetts measure will&nbspoutlaw all three, after which go further. It will likewise bar the purchase of meat and eggs created using individuals methods, even from creatures which were farmed outdoors the condition.

Public polls consistently demonstrated the measure receiving strong support, even though several agribusiness groups opposed the initiative, they spent little to campaign against it.

Farms and companies have until 2022 to conform using the new needs.

Whim for Creatures

Mother pigswill frequently spend many of their livesin gestationcrates, not able to show around or lie lower naturally, not to mention practice typical social behaviors. The cratesallow largeindustrial farms to create efficient utilization of space and streamline feeding.

California may be the only condition that presently bans the purchase of foods over animal cruelty concerns,&nbspand its law applies simply to eggs from caged hens.&nbsp

The Massachusetts law, including veal and pork, may be the largest available within the U.S. and most likely the planet, based on Paul Shapiro, mind from the farm animal welfare campaign in the Humane Society from the U . s . States, which spearheaded the ballot drive.&nbsp

Roughly 9 billion animals are killed for food within the U . s . States every year, and&nbspjust one decades-old federal law&nbspgoverns their humane treatment.

That law applies solely towards the moment when animals are slaughtered it states nothing about how exactly farm creatures ought to be treated during the remainder of their lives, from birth forward. Additionally, it completely exempts chickens along with other creatures that comprise more than 90 % from the creatures slaughtered.

Thus, it’s perfectly legal for female pigs,&nbspamong probably the most&nbspcognitively complex and socially sophisticated animals, to become repeatedly impregnated and held in small crates for months on end,&nbspunable to reply to their most fundamental instincts.

Likewise, every year, vast sums of egg-lounging hens spend their lives inside wire cages so small they can’t flap their wings. Peter Singer, a professor of bioethics at Princeton College, describes caged hens as &ldquothe most carefully limited, overcrowded and generally miserable animals in America.&rdquo

Yesteryear decade has&nbspseen a wave of reforms to enhance some conditions of these creatures. America&rsquos largest veal and pork producers&nbsphave decided to phase out intensive confinement, and within the last 2 yrs every major grocery and fast-food chain in the united states has pledged to use only cage-free eggs.

However these corporate reforms are entirely voluntary. Measures such as the one in Massachusetts are necessary to cement individuals changes, Shapiro stated.

The bill to ban gestation crates in New Jersey (A2500) passed committee last week and is likely to be up for vote before the full NJ assembly Thursday, October 16. I encourage residents to call your local representatives and urge them to support this bill. 

We need to ban gestation crates for pigs. They are cruel and inhumane.
