US Supreme Court agrees to take up challenge to a California law regulating how pigs are raised that pork producers say sets unrealistic requirements and amounts to regulating the industry nationwide.
. Pork producers said it sets unrealistic requirements and amounts to regulating the industry nationwide.
“It requires massive and costly alteration to existing sow housing nationwide, necessitates either reduction of herd sizes or building of new facilities to meet its space mandates, raises prices in transactions with no California connection, drives farms out of business, and promotes industry consolidation, and will be policed by intrusive inspections of out-of-state farms conducted by California’s agents,” the challengers said in their appeal.
The Humane Society, defending the law, said it was intended to end “cruel and unsanitary conditions that threaten the health of California consumers.”
