IIRC, it wasn't just for animals raised and slaughtered in California, it covered all animals and meat imported into the state, too, which makes this move a no-brainer on the company's part.
If I'm not mistaken, there was a similar law recently passed that covered chickens and eggs.

I'm in favor of Prop 12...but more in favor of anything that in any way hurts Commissar Newsom...especially in the wallet.

I'll just leave this here...."Smithfield Foods, the largest U.S. pork producer, has been owned by a Chinese company, WH Group, since 2013."

Imagine if 4 out of every 5 people you meet were Ralph from The Simpsons. And every one of them thinks they're special, useful, unique, and part of "the change".

That's why California is the way it is. "They're helping!"

this is jews who run California trying to kill the pork business. the vegans are working with them. the Chinese will unironically solve this because they eat the fuck out of pork.

I have a mate who manages a piggery in nz.

The government is constantly making it difficult to stay in business with anti business laws and regulations

Fun fact: China and UK are the only pork producing countries which ban porcine (pig) growth hormones.
China has even issued death sentences to importers of black market hormone fed pork.
Why?
