As Congress prepares to write a new farm bill, animal welfare advocates are preparing to safeguard California’s Proposition 12 and similar laws regulating agricultural practices while also pushing to tighten standards for dog breeders, ban the export of horses for slaughter, and eliminate the last vestiges of animal fighting and dog racing in the United States.
Illegal sharp blades and veterinary medications used in cockfighting were discovered concealed within a vehicle during an inspection by CBP officers at the San Ysidro Port of Entry, authorities said.
