Berkeley voters have approved Measure DD, a pioneering initiative to ban Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs), marking a significant step in animal welfare and environmental protection.
Overwhelming scientific evidence and investigative reporting show factory farms harm animals, the environment, workers and public health, prompting organizations like ASPCA to oppose them.
Berkeley has a history of being a leader in animal rights, previously banning fur sales in 2017, which catalyzed similar actions across California and beyond.
The recent defeat of a similar factory farm ban in Sonoma County highlights the challenges ahead, as factory farming continues to cause pollution and suffering for animals.
