he Humane Farming Association (HFA) is forming a campaign committee to oppose a controversial ballot initiative that would repeal and replace California's current hen housing law. Voters in California approved a ballot measure known as Proposition 2, which requires that all eggs produced in the state be laid by hens that have adequate room to stand up, sit down, turn around and extend their limbs without touching another bird or the sides of the cage. Similar requirements were established for pigs and calves used in pork and veal production.Now, HSUS is promoting measure that would replace the hen housing provisions of Prop 2 with the guidelines of the United Egg Producers. "The inescapable reality is that, had Prop 2 actually accomplished what HSUS promised, California would be cage free at this very moment," noted Miller. "Rather than correcting its historic failure, HSUS is now misusing our state's ballot measure process with a whole new set of false promises."More than 125,000 people have already signed an online petition opposing the initiative. And HFA's eye-opening animated short, "California's Caged Chickens Say No," has already garnered over 12 million views on YouTube and social media.
