TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- In a question crystallizing the debate over what does

and does not belong in the state constitution, Florida voters next month

will be asked to decide whether expectant pigs deserve constitutional

protection.

 

After wading through a 700-word description of " excessive punishments " and

choosing whether to ban smoking in restaurants and picking sides in the

fight over class size in public schools, voters will choose whether to put

the following in the state Constitution:

 

" No person shall confine a pig during pregnancy in a cage, crate or other

enclosure, or tether a pregnant pig, on a farm so that the pig is prevented

from turning around freely. "
