The space requirements from prop 2 will reduce the amount of egg laying hens that a rancher can keep in a certain amount of space. This will result in the price of eggs raising.
The best cure for vegetarian hippies is to bbq them for 25 min per side, serve with a red wine.

LOL Obviously the irony in my post was lost on you totally.
Isn't it ironic to you that people are worried about how an animal is treated, before it's head is chopped off and we eat it?
I only buy free range eggs and I pay more for them, and I'm fine with that. Hopefully the egg layer still had it's beak!
I think every animal should be treated in a humane manner. Doesn't being at the top of the food chain make it our duty as responsible humans to treat all other animals humanely? Imagine if babies were tasty and we kept women in rooms big enough for a bed. Baby pops out and they inseminate her again. Is that really any different?
Oh, but she's a person, right? She has feelings. Unlike a "dumb animal". How presumptuous of us to think we even begin to know anything about animals and how they think.
Guess I shouldn't be surprised since there's millions of planets in our universe and we think we are the only intelligent life in it... and I say intelligent loosely as I've been reading gfy for years and brains is something I find in short supply around here.
