US Supreme Court judges found common ground on a case about the humane treatment of pigs

The US Supreme court has sided with a California law mandating pork sold in the state come from pigs raised in humane conditions.

The court yesterday (May 11) upheld California’s Proposition 12 (Prop 12), which forbids the in-state sale of whole pork meat that comes from breeding pigs (or their immediate offspring) that are “confined in a cruel manner”—regardless of whether they’re produced in California or elsewhere.
