Policy and a Pint: How You Gonna Vote on the Environment? Proposition 12
Election 2018 is in full swing -- and now is the time to start figuring out how you're going to vote!
Our Fall 2018 "Policy and a Pints" are focusing on California's General Election ballot. We're holding discussions with panelists who, whether they are "for, " against" or "neutral," will give us the straight talk on local/statewide propositions and races, and what it means if you vote yay or nay on each.
* * * * *
In this podcast, we're talking about Proposition 12, about banning the sale of meat and eggs from animals confined in spaces below specific sizes.
NOTE: Our "No on Proposition 12" panelist had to drop out due to a family emergency, so we only have the "Yes on Proposition 12" panelist, but our moderator did her best to question him thoroughly.
PANELIST
* Chris Holbein, director of public policy of farm animal protection at the Humane Society of the United States
PODCAST PLAY-BY-PLAY
* O to 3:40 min - Intro to California Groundbreakers, and what this discussion is about
* 3:40 min - Panelist introduces himself and explains how Proposition 2, which we passed a decade ago, leads to Proposition 12 on the ballot today
* 10:30 min - Why is a Washington D.C.-based organization the one behind putting both Propositions 2 and 12 on our state's ballot?
* 11:55 min - Prop 2 was supposed to make chickens cage-free by 2015, but it didn't -- why?
* 14 min - How are farmers supposed to prepare and spend the money to meet Proposition 12's new requirements?
* 15:40 min - If Proposition 12 passes, what does "cage free" mean and visually look like?
* 18:40 min - Who would be in charge of making sure Prop 12's rules and requirements are being met and enforced?
* 20:30 min - Prop 12's opponents say that it would cause meat and egg shortages, raise prices drastically, and shutter farms - what's the response?
* 24:45 min - Proposition 3 wants to regulate interstate commerce of pork, veal and eggs -- how would that work?
* 26:55 min - Some people think Proposition 3 is too conservative and doesn't go far enough -- so why vote for it instead of waiting for another try in 2 to 4 years?
* 30:20 min - Where do farmers stand on Prop 12?
* 32:35 min - Does Prop 3 do anything for hens besides make them cage free?
* 34 min - Why can't savvy farmers and consumers' tastes and trends in food drive the changes to farm animal welfare instead of a ballot initiative?
* 36:35 min - More details on how pigs, sows and calves would benefit from Prop 3
* 38:30 min - With a new governor and legislative session starting in January, what should they be doing better in farm animal welfare matters?
