California Animal Cruelty Could be Cured by Proposition 2

Que horror !!

Como es posible que estas cosas realmente pasan.

Donde esta la compasión humana ????????????

Animal cruelty

We have children living in dire conditions, people starving, so many issues to care for humans. People want to give personhood to animals? This is nuts. Animals are better treated as valued property. Personhood and rights have not worked all that well for human conditions.

NO on California Proposition 2

As a poultery I find this ooffense! Not all farms are like this. I think everyone needs to get their fair say in this and NOT just California. I want my eggs to come from the U.S. not somewhere else where they don't have any laws on stuff like gradintg eggs....SAY NO TO CALIFORNIAS PROPOSITION 2!

Quality of Life And Humanity

I think animals deserve the same humane treatment as humans; quality of life is something that should be afforded to all creatures on our planet.It is the humans (our) responsibility since we are highest on the food chain to ensure this,after all it is not humans who are sacrificing their lives for the survival of other species. We are all connected to the Power of which all was created; imbalances of the natural arrangement of life forms will eventually wreak havoc and for certain be the demise of our planet.

Yes! On Prop 2!!

Stop animal cruelty!! YES! On Prop 2!!!

Decency

I wish I had the time to research whether organic fruits and vegetables, which, because they need to be insect-resistant hybrids, result in humans consuming harmful toxins, if only to prove that it was some industrial chicken factory trade association behind the research.

Look -- the fiscal arguments are fine. Make them if you need to, but it doesn't make treating other living things cruelly in order to have cheap food which is massively profitable to its owners OK. When you have tens of thousands of chickens in cages barely bigger than their bodies, who do nothing but eat, sh*t and lay eggs, you are violating a natural law of decency.

And to say organic farmers are bad because they use 30% more land, please, save it. Land use issues are the last thing I think about when I put something in my body, especially since we always find out about some terrible consequence of industrialized agriculture decades after it's too late.

If you've ever read the now-classic Rachel Carson book from the '60s, Silent Spring, you would know that unchecked agribusinesses, and, by the same logic, corporate animal food processors, will avail themselves of every advantage to be competitive. I don't blame them -- this is the way capitalism works. But it's up to the people to put realistic and proper limits on the way business operates.

California Proposition 2

Being an agricultural county should not be synonymous to cruelty to animals, but in Sonoma County it may be. How can we forget 1998 Propositions 4 and 6 and the agricultural voice against these two propositions seeking humane treatment for animals?

In 2004, Petaluma City Council (Sonoma County, California) passed an ordinance drafted by Petaluma Animal Shelter management and park docents banning cats from most areas of the City and prohibiting volunteers from feeding or taking care of these homeless cats. They have been trapping and killing cats by the hundreds each year ever since. Where else but in Sonoma County can this be tolerated?

Please support Proposition 2 and raise your voice against cruelty to animals.
