Opposition group forms against animal rights ballot measure - -

Californians for Sound Farm Animal Agriculture (CSFAA) has formed to oppose a proposed ballot initiative that would ban cages for egg-laying poultry, gestation crates for sows and veal crates for veal calves.  Californians for Humane Farms, sponsored by the Humane Society of the United States, needs 433,000 valid signatures by February to put the initiative on the November 2008 ballot.  CSFAA is actively seeking support from those opposed to the initiative and is circulating a form for opponents to sign.  The form is attached to this e-mail. (Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader).  The Western Untied Dairymen board of directors has voiced its opposition to the measure.  CAFAA ask that the form be faxed to Ted Green at (310) 996-2673.  Further information about the campaign is available by contacting Green at (310) 996-2670.  Jan. 3, 2008 CSFAA Notice
