This is what Prop 12 means for animals

Abstract

California Proposition 12 (Prop 12) is a landmark law that offers protections to certain animals on factory farms, including egg-laying hens, mother pigs, and calves raised for veal. This law was passed in 2018 and became fully effective in 2022, setting specific space and environmental requirements for these animals. Prop 12 also includes a sales ban on noncompliant animal products from out-of-state sources, ensuring the protection of animals beyond California’s borders. Since its implementation, Prop 12 has been challenged in several lawsuits, but it has been upheld by the courts, reflecting the strong public support for the law and the growing movement to end animal confinement on factory farms. – AI-generated abstract.
