UPDATE: California’s Prevention of Cruelty to Farm Animals Act
October 15, 2020
WHAT IS PROP 12: In 2018Californiavoters passed the “Prevention of Cruelty to Farm Animals Act,” also known as Proposition 12, and is set to be fully effective by 2022.
The law establishes new minimum requirements for farms to provide more space for hens raised for eggs, pigs in the pork industry, and calves raised for veal.
In addition, California businesses are banned from selling eggs or uncooked pork or veal that came from animals housed in ways that do not meet these requirements.
THE MEAT INDUSTRY IS TRYING TO SABOTAGE PROP 12: Although voters passed Proposition 12 overwhelmingly with over 62 percent of votes in favor, the meat industry doesn’t want to comply, and is working hard to undermine the new law.
Last year, the North American Meat Institute(NAMI) filed…
In Spain, especially in the south, Religious Processions, Festivals and Bullfights are still used as an excuse to impose the submissive mindset under Catholic, State and machista control and exploitation. In recent years feminists have countered with Rebel ‘Pussy Pride’ processions, to the horror of the Catholic Church.
The Malaga Prosecutor’s Office has asked that the accused be sentenced to pay a fine of 3,000 euros for a crime against religious feelings.
Christian Lawyers consider an offense what for the accused is “defending the rights of women.” In the trial that has been seen for sentencing, the Malaga prosecutor’s office has requested a sentence for the accused of 3,000 euros despite the fact that this, I insist, did not think of offending Catholics. Meanwhile, the private prosecution goes one step further.
In this way, the Christian Lawyers Association requests one year in prison and a twenty-four month fine for provoking discrimination, hatred and violence as well as for a crime against freedom of conscience and religious feelings.
Convictions that if in any of the cases favorable to the prosecution would give a new meaning to the expression “we have run into the church.” In this way, Insurgente has also released the news, noting that, in the face of communication and media blockages, another form of counter-hegemonic journalism is possible.
The defendant has pleaded not guilty and has assured that she did not think she could offend Catholics. During the trial, held in the Criminal Court number 10 in Malaga and which has been approved for sentencing, the defendant insisted that she only intended to defend the rights of women.

It should be noted that this is not the only case initiated by the Christian Lawyers Association against feminist groups or activists. The most mediatic and well-known “Rebel Pussy” took place on May 1, 2014 in Seville. This performance was after the one of the “Great Procession of the rebellious chumino saint” which took place on March 8, 2014 in Malaga.
The far right religious group also attempted, unsuccessfully, to tie CGT anarcho-syndicalist organisers to a “Feminist Aquelarre” (coven) gathering which took place at the same time as a CGT Labour Day gathering on May 1st 2014 and the union supported the feminists.
In the case of the “Unruly Pussy,” justice on that occasion agreed with the activists, an event that provides a favorable precedent in this case as well.
”To say ‘this body is mine’, is a provocation; ‘I do not want to have children’, is a provocation; ‘I want a living wage’, is also a provocation; ‘Do not beat me anymore’, is another provocation. Whatever women do, there will always be many men who feel threatened. But we will not remain silent because we believe we are citizens and not objects serving anyone.”

Los abogados cristianos consideran una ofensa lo que para la acusada es «defender los derechos de las mujeres». En el juicio que ha quedado visto para sentencia la fiscalía malagueña ha pedido una condena para la procesada de 3.000 euros a pesar de que esta, insisto en que no pensaba ofender a los católicos.
Mientras, la acusación particular va un paso mas lejos. De esta manera, la Asociación de Abogados Cristianos solicita un año de prisión y multa de veinticuatro meses por provocación a la discriminación, al odio y a la violencia así como por un delito contra la libertad de conciencia y los sentimientos religiosos.
Condenas que de ser en alguno de los casos favorables a la acusación darian un nuevo sentido a la expresión «con la iglesia hemos topado». De esta manera ha dado también la noticia Insurgente haciendo notar que, frente a los bloqueos comunicacionales y mediáticos otra forma de hacer periodismo contrahegemónico es posible.
The torches and the paramilitary formation of the demo could not hide their political weakness, which barely managed to gather a hundred fanatics who. At all times they were escorted by the police, while the entire neighborhood was rattling pots to show their rejection.
An ultra-rightist demonstration in Benimaclet, a working-class and inclusive neighborhood of Valencia, has ended with the arrest of three anti-fascists, while the Police ignore the application of the Valencian Democratic Memory Law in force since 2017, which forces them to identify and punish those who do ‘apology of fascism’, as did the ultras protesters that they escorted.
