VOTE YES ON 10
The Animal Cruelty
Amendment
Stop animal cruelty
by voting to ban inhumane and unnecessary gestation crates
used to severely
confine breeding sows on industrialized pig factories.
Cruelty to animals is
morally wrong whether you re talking about pets or farm animals.
On industrial hog factories, pigs are
commonly kept in gestation crates - two-foot by seven-foot metal cages
that don t even allow the animals to turn around. Unable to exercise or
move - and spending up to three years in the gestation crate - the pigs
suffer severe physical and psychological ailments. The measure bans only
gestation crates, not farrowing crates, as opponents have falsely
claimed. Humane Societies across Florida and The Humane Society of United
States have endorsed Amendment 10.
Corporate hog factories pollute the environment.
Hog factories produce massive amounts of
animal waste, polluting water and putrefying the air. If voters approve
Amendment 10, we'll prevent mega hog factories from wreaking
environmental havoc in Florida. The Florida Sierra Club has endorsed
Amendment 10.
Many pig farmers
treat animals well and do not use gestation crates.
Small farmers traditionally allow hogs
to move around and to graze on pasture. This measure targets large
factory farms that are displacing small family farms.
