[CTC_TRADE] CTC Strategy -- Communicating the Trade Reform Message

[Citizens Trade Campaign]

"Q: Proposition 2 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_2_%282008%29)  in 
California just passed. Its aim is to reduce the inhumane confinement of 
farm animals by giving them enough room to stand up, turn around, and 
stretch. What do you think of this, and what do you think the real effects 
will be?

A: Veal stalls and sow stalls we need to get rid of, plain and simple. 
Putting a sow in a box where she can't turn around for most of her life, 
that's absolutely not acceptable. Two-thirds of the public have problems 
with it. With hens and chickens, that's a more complicated issue. It's so 
much more expensive to put them in systems that are cage-free, and what I'm 
worried about is the egg industry migrating to Mexico and being a real mess, 
where we have no controls at all. What people don't realize is that half of 
the egg industry is liquid egg, which can be easily shipped in those 
stainless-steel tanks. It's the eggs that go into bread, the eggs that 
restaurants use...And I'm concerned that that might migrate to Mexico."
