The Center for the Environment and Welfare released an analysis of a letter, widely promoted by animal rights operatives on Capitol Hill, signed by “farmers” who support California’s Proposition 12 and oppose a federal fix to the onerous law. Lawmakers are currently considering several pieces of legislation to override the measure. In response, radical animal rights groups continue to highlight a letter allegedly signed by 5,000 “farmers and producers” who support Prop 12. However, CEW’s new analysis suggests the letter is not what it might seem at first. Many of the backers are not pork or egg producers, with some not involved in agriculture at all. The list appears to include over 100 vineyards, 150 honey producers, 25 mushroom growers, eight hemp or marijuana farms, and even a goat yoga operator. “Mushroom farmers, beekeepers, and goat yoga providers are not credible experts on pork policy,” said Jack Hubbard, executive director of CEW.
