Zogby Poll Finds Seven Out of Ten Californians
Support AB 732
Groundbreaking legislation (AB 732) to ban veal crates and gestation
crates in California passed the Assembly Public Safety committee
on Tuesday, April 8, 2003, and has now been referred to the Assembly
Agriculture commitee. This legislation is currently being held in
the agriculture committee, and will likely receive a vote in early
2004.
Veal crates and gestation crates are so cruel that they have been
banned across Europe, and it's time for them to be outlawed in the
U.S. as well. Detailed information about these inhumane systems
is online at www.freefarmanimals.org.
It is important for Assembly-members, especially those on the Assembly
agriculture committee, to hear from California citizens to urge
that they support AB 732.
If you live in California please contact the chair and vice chair
of the Assembly Agriculture Committee, and urge them to vote YES
and pass AB 732 out of their committee:
