Eggs will largely disappear from Massachusetts grocery store shelves come Jan. 1, 2022, unless state lawmakers act quickly to amend a strict new animal welfare law. more
29 Comments on ‘Egg Armageddon’: MA voters passed animal welfare law that effectively bans eggs from being sold in the state

Well that was the point of the law – either give hens more space or don’t have the eggs. Not that I support it, I don’t care either way since I ain’t there, but the law gave them several years to comply and they haven’t.
I buy eggs from a farm couple who have free range chickens. I don’t do it for the hens. The eggs just taste better.
More eggs for the rest of us! Those free range eggs cost a fortune along with those “fake” egg products. Here I thought Cal was the only place passing laws like this.
I’ve got six laying hens for three people, so I don’t care. I can’t give them away fast enough.
Those hens sure need a nice house, a fenced run, a ton of food, an automatic door, DIFFERENT food to give them calcium, OTHER food to fix their feathers, things to perch on and play with, heated water storage, wood chips, straw, vet bills, and a ton of OTHER stuff I wasn’t previously aware poultry needed tho.
Most.
Expensive.
Eggs.
Ever.
…but they make my wife happy, so THAT’S worth more than the price of all that OTHER stuff, so there’s that…
They have known this for more than 5 years and they are only now panicking? Sounds like typical politics and uninformed voters.
Let them eat cake!
Oh….wait a minute…
Blue state idiocy. The mind numb voters should be forced to experience what they voted for for a while so they can possibly see the effects of their actions.
And in California:
“…(Bloomberg) — A top meatpacker is halting sales of some pork products in California, in the first sign of fallout from the stateβs new law demanding more space on farms for the animals…”
I think I might start developing high-rise luxury animal condos. There seems to be a growing demand for the product.
“ππ π ππ«π¦ππ ππππ¨π§” — Looks like the Blaze Media headline scribbler flunked the J-school class “Cutesy Spelling and Word Mangling”. Even an intern could have come up with “ππ«π¦ππ π ππππ¨π§” it’s so obvious.
the virtue signaling wokesters (fyi – spellcheck changes wokesters to jokesters – HA) will scream when they start paying $7 and $8 a dozen for pastured eggs. Actually that’s what I pay now so demand will probably send them to $15 soon.
When eggs are outlawed, only the outlaws will have omelets.

Pretty soon they’ll be driving Porksches.

Eggsactly!!!
Uncle Al – these pork condos will be located in small villages also called Hamlets.
And the street name will be called Pork Place. (someone please stop me before I pun again).
Screw Maine!
The honorary Mayor of this little Hamlet situated on Pork Place will be Kevin Bacon.
I tried to warn you.
Hamone –
MA is Massachusetts; Maine is ME but go ahead and screw Maine if it makes you feel better – they have plenty of moonbats up there who would surely vote this in if given the chance.
Maine just passed a referendum getting govt out of food buying.
Don’t confuse us with Mass.
Although a lot of them have moved here.
Wait till Boston’s new Mayor takes office. All of the state will be in Armageddon.
… it’s ‘Eggeggeddon’
These units will cost an ArmandalEGGeddon.
I know a guy who started a monthly subscription box service for people who have chickens for pets. Sounds like he’d make a fortune in Massachusetts. So will black market egg dealers.
“Occurs only in Rev. 16:16 (R.V., “Har-Magedon”), as symbolically” “designating the place where the “battle of that great day of God” “Almighty” (ver. 14) shall be fought. The word properly means the” mount of Megiddo.”

…ArmEGGeddon is actually in mEGGido, just to scramble things a bit more…
Well… they’ll have to make a weekly drive elsewhere to do their grocery shopping.
Actually, I don’t much care. 1.5 square feet of space?!? Does anyone realize how horribly abused chickens are in these factory farms? Chickens are not stupif animals either — they are actually smarter than cats and dogs.
I grew up on a large poultry farm. When the cage system began to be put in place, the changes and conditions were horrendous. After two years, my dad, a pretty hardened farmer, decided they were over the top, and ripped them out, literally cutting his production in half.
I have no problem with raising, killing and eating animals. I do have a problem with unnecessary cruelty. I also have no problem with meat products costing more. Perhaps they should.
All the state line liquor stores lining the other sides of the Mass border will add Egg Annexes and make a bundle of cash – with tax proceeds to those states.
Our MAGA Don!
I got a sneak preview of the the first chicken farm development. I hope it doesn’t lay an egg.

For poultry, factory egg farming is the holyolkcaust.
@stirrin the FJB Pot
Honorary mayor Kevin Bacon will give his eggceptance speech wearing a pork pie hat.
How does wacky laws like this start? MrsDoe claims chickens are unhappy and abused, so MrDoe sends a letter to his Governor. The Gov reads the letter, thinks chicken lovers will be happy with a law protecting the critters, and farmers will just have to suck it up. After the law is written, is there no one in their halls of state who says ‘ hey, this is stupid’?
