Unlike the hogs on most big farms, Sarah's pigs have free range to move in and out of their pens and graze in a nearby pasture.
"The way I look at this is it's a step forcing the industrial agriculture community to move in a direction that provides more welfare to their animals," said Silva. When asked for comment on the issue they sent this statement saying,"Understanding compliance with California Proposition 12 is a key priority for NPPC. We are working on behalf of America's 66,000 pork producers to provide that clarity to ensure a smooth transition for their farms and for consumers in those states who want to continue buying pork at grocery stores and restaurants."
