California Moonbattery Is Inflicted on Poultry Farms Nationwide

Being such a large market allows California to impose its moonbattery on the rest of the country. Public school textbooks are one example. Another example is eggs:

Legislation agreed in California 9 years ago, designed to promote bird welfare, is being challenged by 13 US states.

The states have filed a motion to ask the Supreme Court to block a law requiring any eggs sold in the state to come from hens that have space to stretch in their cages.

The lawsuit alleges that California’s requirements violate the US Constitution’s interstate commercial clause and are pre-empted by federal law.

The law is the result of a 2008 ballot proposal. Consumers all over the country have been picking up the tab for it.

California’s egg law has cost consumers nationwide up to US$350m annually as a result of higher egg prices since it came into force in 2015.

Maybe hens stretching in their cages sounds like a good idea. But this is only the thin edge of the wedge. Progressivism works by increments. Here’s what California may impose on egg-eaters next if the challenge fails:

The legal action comes at a time when animal rights activists are pushing the state’s egg farmers to require the birds to be kept cage-free. They have launched a petition drive to try to get 365,880 signatures needed to have the measure placed on the statewide ballot in November 2018.

Eventually California will dictate that eggs come only from hens who have their feathers stroked by avian therapists for 90 minutes per day, and who have been provided with color televisions and the complete collection of Foghorn Leghorn cartoons on DVD so they don’t get bored.

As any vegan can tell you, eating eggs is oppressive. It is best for the animals if the requirements placed on poultry farms are as onerous as possible, and we must always do whatever is best for the animals.

The first comment on the source article may or may not shed some light on the mentality driving this agenda. Margaret Kaminska remarks,

US is a scary, barbaric corpocratic lizard-governed hellhole third world country.

I can’t exactly make sense of the comment, but I’m guessing Ms. Kaminska is on the side of the chickens.
