The Bible mentions they will forbid the eating of meat in 1 Timothy 4. They're going hard with the scare mongering over bird flu in the States. https://www.nonhumanrights.org/ We are a civil rights organization because we seek recognition and protection of nonhuman rights within a civil rights framework. A civil right is a legally enforceable right that originates in notions of freedom and equality. Ecuador: https://www.nonhumanrights.org/blog/ecuador-nonhuman-rights/ Ecuador is the second jurisdiction in the world where a high court has declared that at least some animals have “real legal rights” (the first being India’s Supreme Court in 2014). In Colorado: https://animallaw.foxrothschild.com/2021/03/25/colorado-poised-to-eliminate-animal-agriculture/ What they're trying to do in Oregon (note they are working with ActBlue): https://www.farmprogress.com/livestock/oregon-initiative-would-ban-animal-slaughter-breeding An Oregon ballot initiative proposed for 2022 would effectively criminalize the farming of food animals in the state by classifying their slaughter as aggravated abuse and redefining artificial insemination and castration as sexual assault. Initiative Petition 13, filed with Oregon elections officials in November, would remove farmer exemptions from existing laws barring animal cruelty and specifically target practices used for “(b)reeding domestic, livestock, and equine animals,” according to the text of the initiative. The proposed Abuse, Neglect, and Assault Exemption Modification and Improvement Act would delete all references to “good animal husbandry” from state statute and only allow an animal to be injured in cases of a human’s self-defense. A veterinarian’s spaying and neutering of household pets would still be exempt. The initiative’s sponsor, a group called End Animal Cruelty, is beginning to gather the 112,000 signatures they’ll need by next summer and is working through the national progressive network ActBlue to recruit volunteers for the effort, animal activist David Michelson recently told Portland’s KBOO-FM, a donor-supported radio station. “If this passes,” he told KBOO, “Oregon would essentially be a sanctuary state for animals. Any animal in the state of Oregon would have their rights more or less codified in law, that they deserve a life free of abuse, neglect or sexual assault.” Michelson said the initiative wouldn’t ban animal agriculture entirely, nor would it abolish the sale of meat, leather or fur in Oregon. But livestock would have to die of natural causes before it could be used for food production, and “forced impregnation” of livestock would be outlawed, he said. Violators would face criminal prosecution.
