Mer positivt från USA

Peter Singer, som för övrigt fyller år, twittrade precis detta:

"@PeterSinger: Arnold Schwarzenegger just gave me a fantastic birthday present! http://tinyurl.com/27ohb7o"
Länken går till denna nyhet från HSUS:

"Tuesday, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed landmark legislation that protects animal welfare and food safety. The new law requires that shelled (whole) eggs sold in California comply with the modest but important food safety and animal welfare standards of Proposition 2. Passed in a 2008 landslide, Prop 2 phases out production of eggs from hens crammed into cages.

The bill, A.B. 1437, requires that all whole eggs sold in California as of Jan. 1, 2015, come from hens able to stand up, fully extend their limbs, lie down and spread their wings without touching each other or the sides of their enclosure, thus requiring cage-free conditions for the birds."

Positiva nyheter! Annars har ju kombinationen födelsedagspresenter + politiker + hönor en aningen dålig klang...
