Here’s a handy little tip for anyone wanting to write an effective newspaper op-ed: try not to come off like a gigantic asshole.
The author makes one absurd argument after another for voting against Prop 2, then ends by admitting he’s participated in animal cruelty:
There’s the suggestion coming out of these hearings in Sacramento that laying hens should have at least enough room to spread their wings. Why? They don’t even use them to fly. I’ve thrown chickens farther than they’re capable of flying.
The factory farming interests who are trying to torpedo Prop 2 must be freaked out over this piece. If widely circulated, it could do more damage to their cause than any Yes on Prop 2 piece that could possibly be written. (Thanks, Ann) Link.
