Prohibit Extreme Confinement Crates for Pigs and Calves and the Routine Docking of Cows’ Tail

The Humane Society of the United States applauds Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee and state lawmakers for enacting S.2191/H.7180, legislation that prohibits the extreme confinement of breeding pigs and veal calves in small crates, and S.2192, legislation that prohibits the unnecessary and inhumane practice of cattle tail docking. Tail docking involves the partial amputation—typically without pain killers—of up to two-thirds of a cow’s tail.
