A hugely influential federal appellate court delivered bad news to the pork industry today, rejecting its challenge to Country of Origin Labeling legislation and rulemaking done by Congress and USDA. The National Pork Producers Council backs ag-gag laws to hide public knowledge of their farm practices, they fight animal welfare reforms backed by other sectors of animal agriculture (e.g., the egg producers’ move to ban barren battery cages), and they don’t want consumers to know what country the meat they eat comes from. Could they be any less transparent and reactionary? Details on this important case, which HSUS participated in with family farmers in a friend of the court brief.
