Victory! Judge rules that LIC's cruelty suit against Alexandre Family Farm can proceed. This shows that NO ONE is above the law.

"I think we made a mistake as a movement making this about personal diet. We need corporate reform. People can be a part of that regardless of what they eat. We need people to be advocates and funders and supporters of this cause." -@Lewis_Bollard.

RT @chrandberry: On its surface, this case involving chickens, ducks, and criminal trespass may seem far from the @NonhumanRights’s ordinar….

“More than 120 years ago, the Legislature created a statutory scheme that appoints humane societies and SPCAs to assist overworked law enforcement agencies in enforcing animal welfare laws.” .- LIC's Preliminary Opposition to Alexandre’s Petition for Writ of Mandate filed today

The filings explain: Prop 12 limits spread of Salmonella and other diseases—and ensures consumers have higher welfare eggs. Read mot & brief:

Grateful that the Association of California Egg Farmers has moved to intervene in USA v. California, to defend Prop 12 and keep birds OUT of cages. Great work @WilmerHale for representing the Association!.

RT @peta: Officer Gage Hawk of the @ClivePolice jumped into action when a duckling was trapped in a storm drain💙🐥 Thanks to his quick actio….

A belated THANK YOU SO MUCH to @open_phil and @GoodVentures for the SECOND large, generous gift to Legal Impact for Chickens!. And thank you for EVERYTHING you do for animals & ppl. We're honored to be mentioned on your websites.

Instead, the Trump administration is bowing to the chicken-meat lobby’s fear that some foreign meat buyers might object to the preventative veterinary care. Humane housing did not erase 160 million birds. A virus did.

Other poultry-producing nations manage the same virus with standard veterinary procedures developed to prevent bird flu. But the federal government won’t allow U.S. egg producers to give their birds the veterinary care needed to prevent this virus.

Since early 2022, a lethal strain of highly pathogenic avian influenza has ripped through U.S. flocks, forcing the death of 160 million birds, mostly hens used for eggs. That’s why we’ve seen egg price spikes.

Case Farms is discouraging the NC Supreme Court from taking LIC's cruelty case. Case Farms argues that “[t]he subject matter of this appeal”—that is, the treatment of Case Farms’s chickens—“does not involve matters of significant public interest.” We couldn’t disagree more.
