A federal court has partially upheld Massachusetts’ humane pork law, which mandates that pork sold in the state must come from pigs raised under specific humane conditions. The court found some provisions of the law unconstitutional, but the majority remains intact. This decision allows Massachusetts to continue enforcing its animal welfare standards, impacting pork producers who supply pork to the state. This ruling highlights the ongoing legal and regulatory challenges related to animal welfare in the agricultural industry.
This ruling reflects the complexity of balancing animal welfare with regulatory compliance, a key concern for pork producers nationwide.
