Supreme Court ruling upholding California’s animal welfare law could lead more states to act

May 17, 2023 from The Food Dive:

"Producers of meat, eggs and other animal items are being advised more restrictive state laws may be coming after last week’s 5-4 decision affirming the ban on pork from farms using gestation crates.

"A decision by the U.S. Supreme Court last week to uphold a California law banning the sale of pork from farms that confine pregnant pigs in gestation crates could have a widespread impact on the way states regulate the production of meat and eggs, according to legal experts.

"The verdict provided a legal win for animal welfare advocates across the country who are eager to pursue statewide bans on livestock being grown in small enclosures.

"The court accepted animal welfare as a “legitimate state interest,” other states follow suit with their own laws."

Ed note: Could this affect shechta?
