The American Farm Bureau
Federation and the National Pork Producers Council have filed a lawsuit against
the State of California.
Travis Cushman with AFBF tells Brownfield the lawsuit filed late Thursday was necessary because Proposition 12 reaches outside the borders of California in an unprecedented way. “It creates very arbitrary animal confinement requirements that have no basis in husbandry practices and years of practice knowledge of how to raise these animals, and we think that has gone too far.”
Cushman says California’s Proposition 12 animal housing guidelines were drafted by an anti-agriculture group.
