Animal rights activists are trying to make Sonoma County, California, which is legendary the world over for its wine, the first county in the nation to ban concentrated animal feeding operations by a public vote.
Animal rights activists have turned to county fights after gaining no traction in the Legislature for banning confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs).
The Legislature is advancing a measure to grant SPCAs new authority in litigating animal abuse violations at puppy mills. Critics fear it would expose livestock handlers to frivolous lawsuits.
