Forwarded Caging legislation introduced, debated in IL, OH, CT Fri Mar 6, 2009 11:41 am (PST) (From Fur Commission) Bill with Similar Language to California Prop 2 Introduced in Illinois Senator James DeLeo introduced Senate Bill 1337 in the Illinois legislature. The Bill amends the Humane Care for Animals Act and proposes to establish laws for egg-laying hens, gestating sows and veal calves. The language of the bill is virtually the same as that of the Proposition 2 in California. If passed, it would ban all cage laying houses and likely force farmers with approximately 5.3 million hens out of business in the state.
