The document discusses animal welfare in the agriculture industry. It outlines the perspectives of advocates such as the Humane Society of the United States, who believe that farm animals are abused and cannot show natural behaviors. It also describes the views of agvocates like pork and egg producers, who argue that laws are being made based on emotion and that confinement systems can benefit animals and farmers. The document also notes that proposition 2 in particular aimed to restrict the confinement of farm animals in California.
