USA - Illinois bill focused on animal production

This week in the Illinois General Assembly Senate Assistant Majority Leader Sen. James A. DeLeo introduced a bill that would amend the state's Humane Care for Animals Act. As written it would prohibit a person from tethering or confining any covered animal, on a farm, for all or the majority of any day, in a manner that prevents the animal from lying down, standing up and fully extending his or her limbs or turning around freely.
