Reply #16: I like local farm goods. [View All]

[Oerdin]

Here where I live in San Diego County egg farmers are the third biggest agricultural product in the county and just about all the farmers say they'll be out of business if prop 2 passes which means no more fresh local eggs in our markets and a lot less locally raised chickens as well. Instead it will all end up coming from out of state or from Mexico where health and animal welfare laws are more laxed then here in California. Prop 2 won't help a single bird but it will destroy an industry and family farms which are decades old. The extremists pushing this really should be ashamed.

A great article from the San Diego North County Times: http://www.northcountytimes.com/articles/2008/08/05/business/z27e52f5a4af6151e8825749c00576923.txt
