Bill to Ban Gestation Crates and Veal Crates in MA
A hearing on a bill to ban gestation crates and veal crates in
Massachusetts took place earlier this month during which 3 kids testified in
behalf of farmed animals. The hyper-confinement of farmed animals (such as
gestation crates and veal crates) is standard procedure in factory farms and
animals suffer greatly emotionally, psychologically and physically under
these conditions.
There are no factory farms in Massachusetts and animal advocates would like
factory farms to stay away if possible. If the bill is passed, offenders
would be fined $1000 dollars and face jail time for up to 6 months.
It would seem common sense for Christians to support bills that ban cruelty
of God’s animals, since we all called to show compassion and mercy to all
creatures. It is our hope that Massachusetts passes this bill and that all
states would follow. The world will know no peace unless we stop the
relentless exploitation of sentient beings.
