Outcome of A.B. 732 -- veal crates and gestation crates

[Guest guest]

A state bill that would have prohibited the confinement of calves and

pregnant sows in cramped crates was withdrawn Thursday before facing the

Assembly's Agriculture Committee.

 

A staff member for Assemblywoman Loni Hancock (D-Berkeley), who wrote the

bill, said she did not have the votes for approval. Given the state's

pressing budget crisis, Hancock decided the bill might not be given adequate

attention. She plans to reintroduce it next year.

 

The measure's sponsor, an animal-rights group called Farm Sanctuary, plans

to continue to support the bill.
