thanks for link.  i support prop 2.

 

i heard a discussion of prop 2 on kqed radio this morning and someone against it

said that it wouldn't affect the importation from out of state or from mexico of

animal products affected here in california; does anybody know if this is true? 

ideally, imported products would be required to meet the same criteria, for

ethically reasons as well as for market competition reasons too.

 

thanks,

brian

It is true; these standards will only apply to chickens, etc. raised

in CA. CA cannot legislate how animals in other states are kept, and

cannot keep products from other states out. It is unlikely many eggs

would come from Mexico (apparently they don't grow much feed corn).

 

The Yes on Prop 2 website addresses this issue in more detail; go to
