Elections go to the dogs (and pigs, cows, and chickens)!
The election results are in - and animals have come out with the winning vote in two crucial initiatives.
In California a wide majority of voters, 63%, passed the Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act, a measure that will ban cruel confinement systems on factory farms and will significantly improve the lives of over 20 million farm animals in California.
In Massachusetts 56% of voters spoke up for greyhounds by voting "Yes" for a ballot initiative that will phase out commercial dog racing in the state by 2010, making a huge difference for the over 1,000 dogs currently being held at the state's two dog tracks.
On November 4th voters across the United States turned up in record numbers to make their voices heard for the Presidential election as well as for many crucial state and local initiatives. We're thrilled to report that among these, voters passed two historic ballot initiatives that will greatly improve the lives of animals
Congratulations to voters, animal welfare groups, and compassionate people everywhere who worked so hard to pass these two important initiatives!
