PROPOSITION 2 PASSES!(oh my... all these propositions)

Well, I feel a little ignorant because I did not know there was a proposition 2(in California)that had been passed at the time of election. Of course, it was not my job to know because I don't live in the US nor am I an American. However, I am a vegetarian and I should have known... right? Proposition 2:

• Prevents cruelty to animals.
• Improves our health and food safety.
• Supports family farmers.
• Protects air and water and safeguards the environment.
• Is a reasonable and common-sense form.

Proposition 2 passed and now more than 20 million animals are going to be saved and be humanely treated. This is not a proposition that bashes against meat-eating people. This is a proposition that opens people's eyes and is against animal cruelty(e.i.confining veal calves, breeding pigs, and egg-laying hens in tiny cages)happening just because profit from selling is above everything else. It doesn't matter if you're a vegan, vegetarian or omnivore, I'm sure none of us like how the "animal industry" had been working.

"Florida, Arizona, Colorado, and Oregon have banned gestation crates, and Arizona and Colorado have also banned veal crates. Major California food retailers are moving away from supporting battery cages and veal and gestation crates. California city councils have also passed resolutions opposing battery cage confinement."

That's one of the reasons why this initiative was launched in California.
Not only is it good for animals but it's good for all of us as well. I think it's important that it was passed because who knows how much of that meat or eggs ended up here in Mexico in many people's dinner tables... or in their cars when they drove off the Drive-Thru.
