Prop 2 Passes
I got this bit of good news in my inbox this morning! Looks like the folks in California did some voting on behalf of animals and passed Prop 2!
Take a bow. You rewrote history for animals.
Thanks to you, 20 million animals in California will soon be spared the worst abuses of factory farms. And I’m confident that we’ll look back at Prop 2 as a pivotal moment in how our nation treats animals who are raised for food.
Early returns tonight show that more than 60% of Californians voted for Prop 2. This is a tremendous victory for animals, for The Humane Society of the United States…and for you. We were able to reach millions of California voters with our message of compassion only because you stood with us — by taking action, by donating to the campaign, and by telling those you knew in California about Prop 2 and what it would do for animals and for citizens there.
This was a momentous election for the nation. I’m so grateful and honored for everything you did to make Prop 2 a big part of the story. Please read my blog over the coming days for my take on Prop 2 and what it means for animal protection.
It may be a cliché to say that “we couldn’t have done it without you.” But it’s so utterly true. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Wayne Pacelle
President & CEO
The Humane Society of the United States
What a good way to start the morning! It has always been my feeling that regardless of if an animal is going to become meat, they still very much deserve to have a good life until that time comes. It’s healthier for the people who eat meat, and it is so much better for the animals. I am happy to see I am not alone in that feeling.
