And while there are laws to "ensure" humane slaughter, all poultry are excluded from this federal mandate. Moreover, factory farmers can get away with treating their animals pretty much any way they wish to until the animals are crammed onto trucks to be transported to slaughter.

Even animals raised for food deserve a little room to move. To learn more about this ballot initiative, please visit www.YesOnProp2.org.
