The Coalition to End Factory Farming, a group of animal activists campaigning to ban concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) in California’s Sonoma County, is moving along in their signature-collecting process.
In an emailed release, the group said it has collected 26,000 signatures for the ballot initiative and it is working to collect the final 4,000 signatures. The coalition has more than 100 volunteers helping to collect signatures.
“It’s time that we move away from factory farming in order to protect animals, local farmers, the environment and public health,” the group said in its email.
The Coalition to End Factory Farming is backed by the San Fransisco chapter of the activist group Direct Action Everywhere. The group is attempting to put the initiative on Sonoma County’s 2024 ballot.
