Wayne Pacelle’s Humane Society blog reports that the Pew Commission on Industrial Farm Animal Production at The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health has released a report recommending a “a phase-out of ‘the most intensive and inhumane confinement practices’—gestation and veal crates and battery cages.” This fall California will be voting on a ballot measure to do just that.

Hi Lee! I blogged on this too, including links to a bunch of related press articles and the full version of the Pew Commission Report (which is 124 pages of VERY critical analysis of factory farming by by commissioners who have close ties to the industry itself!). This is very big news indeed! Check out my post at http://www.g-rad.org/vegan
