Proposition 2
In 2008, California citizens voted in favor of the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act (Proposition 2). Proposition 2 prohibits the confinement of certain farm animals in a manner that does not allow them to turn around freely, lie down, stand up, and fully extend their limbs. Proponents argue that this innovation contributes to the humane treatment of animals. Opponents say that Proposition 2 was a misguided attempt at animal welfare and burdens farmers with unnecessary expenses.
