California voters decided in 2018 that pork sold in the state must originate with pigs that have room to turn around in their pens.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday will hear the pork industry’s challenge to a California animal welfare law that would forbid confining breeding pigs in narrow metal cages for most of their lives.

Elizabeth B. Prelogar said. “States may not otherwise regulate out-of-state entities by banning products that pose no threat to public health or safety based on philosophical objections to out-of-state production methods or public policies that have no impact in the regulating state.”It “only restricts the products that businesses choose to sell within California’s borders,” they said.

More people need to take their heads out of the sand and truly understand where their “meals” come from… including all the torture and misery that they allow so they can save a few bucks

These poor animals have an intelligence at least equal to dogs. They are sentient beings; we should not make them experience hell on earth. The pork industry has bought out the GQP.

So disgusting
