Evidence that the US veterinary profession has been captured by the pork industry? California’s Proposition 12 protects pigs from extreme confinement systems (long recognised as welfare concerns), yet the American Veterinary Medical Association supports federal laws that would override it.

Who speaks for pigs? The Farm Bill, Proposition 12 and capture of the US veterinary profession | LSE United States Politics and Policy

The Jeremy Coller Centre for Animal Sentience@lseanimalsentience.bsky.social · 3mo ago

LSE iQ examines animal rights and protection - legal cases, policy development, and the animals often forgotten: invertebrates, lab animals, and those in farming systems - plus the role of photojournalism in advocacy

UK law requires that animals killed for food should be stunned. An exception is made for religious reasons. But @birchlse.bsky.social @lsephilosophy.bsky.social @lseanimalsentience.bsky.social argues that the resulting high level of non-stun slaughter is unjustified @lsepoliticsblog.bsky.social
