HSUS reportedly trying to stop Prop 2 lawsuit

The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) reportedly has filed a motion to intervene and stop a lawsuit challenging Proposition 2, which regulates egg-laying hen cages in California. The lawsuit was filed in state court by the Association of California Egg Farmers.

According to the Sacramento Bee newspaper, the HSUS, the main backer of the proposition, says the egg farmers’ lawsuit is just another step to try and stop the “humane” measure that was approved by voters four years ago.

In their lawsuit, the egg farmers say Prop 2 is “unconstitutionally vague” adding they would not be able to modify their hen housing in time to comply with the measure’s January 1st, 2015 deadline.
