Californians for Humane Farms is the proud sponsor of the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act, an  initiative that will appear on California's November 2008 ballot.

It is cruel and inhumane to confine animals in cages so small they can’t turn around or stretch their  limbs. All animals deserve humane treatment, including those raised for food. Vote “YES” on the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act to protect animals from unacceptable abuse.
