The California Animal Welfare Act wants pigs to live well, but people have no meat to eat?
[Global Times Comprehensive Report] Californians are going to eat without pork? The Animal Welfare Act passed in California in 2018 will take effect in January next year. Industry insiders predict that Californians will face a "pork shortage" by then.
The Associated Press reported on August 1 that the core content of this bill is to improve the living space of animals in farms, and to allow livestock to "live more spaciously." However, as of now, only 4% of the farms supplying pork to California meet the new regulations. The media believes that if there is no judicial intervention or other transitional measures by then, California will almost lose "all pork supply."
According to the Associated Press, California is the largest pork consumer in the United States. On average, restaurants and butchers in the state consume 115 million kilograms of pork per month, and the cut-off of pork supply in other states is bound to cause pork prices to rise sharply. Some practitioners in the catering industry worry that Californians may not even be able to eat the most common breakfast, pork bacon.
