Booker | B001288 | www.booker.senate.gov | booker | https://www.booker.senate.gov/news/press | scraper | Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), a member of the Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, issued the following statement in response to the Department of Justice brief supporting a challenge to California’s animal housing law, Proposition 12. “I am deeply disappointed and angered that USDA and the Biden Administration have aligned themselves with corporate meatpackers and their cruel factory farm system that is dangerous for workers, consumers, animals, and the environment. “California and other states have the right to protect the health of their residents by prohibiting the sale of products derived from the inhumane, unsanitary confinement of farm animals. Future generations will look back on these practices as unconscionably cruel to animals and unacceptably harmful to people and our environment. I hope that the Supreme Court will affirm the decision of the lower court upholding Proposition 12.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:39:01Z |
