Yes on Prop 2 Update
August 20, 2008

It’s been quite a month for California's Yes on Prop 2 Campaign. Recently, devoted
volunteers from all over southern California dutifully made the journey to San Luis Obispo to attend and speak out at a hearing for Prop 2. The hearing was well attended by seasoned activists, those new to the campaign as well as interested residents.


Prop 2 supporters gave testimony on the
importance of ending the cruelty of battery cages,
veal crates and gestation crates. And while the
opposition tried heartily to make the debate a
financial matter, it is undeniably an issue of
compassion and basic welfare. We could not have
been more proud of our fellow activists who stood
up for farm animals.

With the big day less than three months away, Californians are gearing up for an election to remember. Farm Sanctuary is preparing the Truth Behind Factory Farming Truck for travel throughout the state, educating the public about the horrors that animals suffer on factory farms, and in particular, the intensive confinement systems that Prop 2 would outlaw.
