Comments on: Proposition 2: Confining Farm Animals http://elmonteblog.com/2008/10/03/proposition-2-confining-farm-animals/ Federal, State, and Local Politics Sun, 25 Apr 2010 20:11:27 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Ulysses Limon http://elmonteblog.com/2008/10/03/proposition-2-confining-farm-animals/comment-page-1/#comment-6114 Ulysses Limon Thu, 15 Jan 2009 09:19:40 +0000 http://elmonteblog.com/2008/10/03/proposition-2-confining-farm-animals/#comment-6114 If I had the right to vote then I would vote yes on Proposition 2. This is going to sound dumb but human have rights and we like to be treated well for the hard work we do in our daily life's. Now why wont we as humans treat the animals that practically feed us with a little respect. Were always saying these are just dumb animals but im pretty sure these dumb animals have feelings. Now i would think that animals work the same ways that humans do and im referring to this because if humans get treated well at work then they produce better and hopefully there's research proving that better treated chickens are better eggs and better chicken wings at pizza stores lol. But seriously most likely animals work the same way as humans and I would vote yes. If I had the right to vote then I would vote yes on Proposition 2.

Back story: This is all about chickens. The language on veal calves and sows tugs on voters' heartstrings, but it's moot; California produces virtually no commercial pork or veal. Chief opponents -- egg producers -- argue that without tight cages, their chickens will eat each other and their own droppings. No matter what, the caged chickens are doomed: After a short life laying eggs, they are too spent even for the soup pot. I agree with most of you, I voted yes. I eat a lot of chicken throughout the month, so I prefer to be on their side of the argument rather than the eggs. By the way, have we figured out yet, what came first, the chicken or the egg.

It's not fair to the animals to have to live such a bad life and be killed in the end. It is also not good for the consumers who will be eating them. Animals that are confined like this tend to not have as good as meat as free range animals do. Even though it is more expensive to raise animals free range it will benefit us as well as them. Animals that are raised confided in small areas are more likely to contract diseases. I agree on Prop. 2 and would Vote yes.

I believe that no animal should have to be confined into a place where they can barely move. Sure, there will be a chance of some animals getting sick, but I think that it is worse how they are now. What if an animal catches something contagious? If they are cramped together, then that means that all of them will get it. Either way, there its still the possibility of the animals getting sick. I also believe that we should not stop on just getting animals more space to roam around, i think that this would only be a start. We need to begin to treat animals with the respect they deserve. Just because they are animals that are going to be used for food does not mean that we may treat them as we like; they can still feel pain just as much as any other animal.

I understand its possible that if this is passed it might increase consumer prices when purchasing eggs, but it would only be by a few pennies per dozen. What they are doing to all these animals is cruel and wrong and they should be stopped, but since that will probably never happen all together, they should at pass this law that would make these animals at the very least a bit more comfortable before they are slaughtered. I think that everyone should inform themselves on this topic because if you were to watch some of the videos, the living standards of the farm animals and how they are treated is horrible. After watching these videos I don’t know how anyone can vote no on proposition 2. No living creature deserves this and we should do whatever we can to help! Here is the video just in case you don’t know what is going on… http://uncaged.yesonprop2.com/# oh and by the way, this would also help the economy because yes they would need more people if this proposition passed and that would create more jobs so that’s another good thing.

Animals will have more chances to survive in the larger landscape as they have regain their freedom in the land. Then the population of the animal would start growing more and better. Farm animals will avoid being abused and it can prevent the animals from cruelty. By passing this proposition it doesn't just benefit the animals but it can also make our state even better.

There would probably a higher chance of having animals get sick. When animals are stacked on each other like a tower of Jenga blocks. If one animal is sick, the other ones are going to be sick. These are animals to be eaten, then that would be a waste of food for others. Animals should have the chance to stretch and be able to run around. Wouldn’t you like the chance to be able to walk around and stretch when you wish to? Why can’t animals have the same right? Even if there are animals about to go to the slaughterhouse, they should be somewhat happy that they were able to run around before they get sent. If the prop does get passed, it wouldn’t be just a benefit to animals but to people too. Animals wouldn’t get sick but there also wouldn’t be any infested meat that would be sold.

There is a fine if you break this law but if you think of it no matter what the punishment is people will still end up doing it no matter what. I also believe that the money that we a trying to invest or use on it we can use it on something else that is of more help such as education.
