Guest guest Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Way to go!------------------------ Paul Shapiro <pshapirobig news for farm animalsd2or3Date: Thursday, April 1, 2010, 1:02 PM In a huge court ruling yesterday that provides a major victory for animal protection groups and a major defeat for the meat industry, the 9th Circuit reinstated California's law banning the slaughter of downer pigs. The chief judge even declared the National Meat Association's argument "hogwash." Some articles include the SF Chronicle, Associated Press, and more. Amazingly, the Ohio Farm Bureau agreed to ban battery cages. Okay, that's an April Fool's joke. But our ballot measure to ban various factory farming practices in Ohio is well underway. Here's an article from the Athens News today about an event we did this week. Finally, here's an interview with me in the current issue of Nation's Restaurant News:http://www.nationsrestaurantnews-digital.com/nationsrestaurantnews/20100322?pg=54#pg54 Paul ShapiroSenior Director, Factory Farming CampaignThe Humane Society of the United StatesHumaneSociety.org - Join Our Email List 301-721-6432 -- http://twitter.com/pshapiro P.S.
