California- Prop 2

From the NY Times magazine a profile of the Human Society's top guy and a discussion of Prop 2. This is a very difficult issue for me. I love my animals and I very much agree with the idea that humans should avoid cruelty to animals when possible. However, when I hear members of the animal roghts crowd talking about first steps to regulating what humans can eat, the open admission in the article that this initiative is crafted around PR rather than policy, and lefty bloggers talking about the next steps such as regulating meat through climate change initiatives, it definitely gives me pause. On the merits of Prop 2 itself, I'd probably be voting yes.
