At the end of such a tragic week in our nation, it can be helpful to reflect on some of the positive things that happened this week, even in the midst of the horror that’s rightfully dominating the headlines.
The big news for farm animals this week is that the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruled against our opponents, and is allowing our historic farm animal protection measure to proceed to the ballot this November. The pork industry’s leadership isn’t exactly pleased, warning producers that “the tentacles of any HSUS measure will reach you.”
Finally, the ascendance of the farm animal protection movement is well-chronicled in a major new feature on Huffington Post.
