This will be a nightmare for the pork industry since the vast majority of pork farmers' practices do not conform to the California law. Either they won't be able to sell pork in California, or if they do comply with the law, pork prices should increase for the rest of the country. Stock up on bacon now!
Supreme Court rejects challenge to California pork law mandating more space for pigs |
24 square feet. 4’ x 6’. How much room do the growers provide now? It’s interesting that the Republican majority on the Supreme Court sided with the State of California on this, but President Biden’s office urged the Supreme Court to side with the pork producers! I think the pork producers should agree among themselves to not comply and see how the people in California react when their stores can find almost no pork products to sell. Let people eat turkey bacon and beef hotdogs.
