| Subject: Hope the statist fucks catch salmonella: Oregon passes law requiring eggs sold there to come from cage-free hens Tue Aug 13, 2019 11:43 pm | |
| Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) signed legislation into law on Monday that requires farms in the state to house egg-laying hens in a cage-free housing system.
Under Senate Bill 1019, commercial farm owners or operators that yield an annual egg production with flocks larger than 3,000 egg-laying hens are required give their birds unrestricted room to roam.
The farms are also required to provide the hens with “enrichments” that allow them to exhibit what the bill referred to as “natural behavior,” which includes, at a minimum, “scratch areas, perches, nest boxes and dust bathing areas.”
