Campaign event for Proposition 2
"Pet Out the Vote." That's what the Proposition 2 folks are calling their campaign event in Santa Monica on Wednesday. The organizers of the November ballot initiative -- which would outlaw confining cages and crates for hens, veal calves and pigs -- are inviting supporters to bring their dogs to a rally at 11:30 a.m. at the entrance to the Santa Monica Pier.
Dogs should be on a leash. Their people can be unleashed (and with campaign signs, if they like.)

I don't eat animals but if their still going to be exploited for food it's morally imperative to treat them with great reverence prior to their irreverent slaughter.

Proposition 2 is a modest and common-sense reform for factory farmers to shift from severe confinement methods to more humane practices. We wouldn't force our pets to live in filthy, cramped cages for their entire lives and we shouldn't force farm animals to endure such suffering and misery. Vote Yes! on Prop 2.
