Voters in Massachusetts will decide next month whether to pass a far-reaching law to protect farm animals from extreme confinement, and polling suggests they will approve it overwhelmingly. The Massachusetts measure would prohibit all three, and then go further. It would also bar the sale of meat and eggs produced using those methods, even if the animals were farmed outside the state. Two independent polls released in the last month show likely voters supporting the measure by wide margins ― 41 points and 61 points, respectively. And while several agribusiness groups oppose the initiative, they’ve spent little to campaign against it.
