Pregnant Pig Protection

Sometimes a law is only silly because of where it is, and how it got there. In Florida it is illegal to confine a pregnant pig so that it cannot turn around freely.

Nice animal cruelty law, right? It's in Florida's CONSTITUTION. (Article X, Section 21) It was put there as a result of an initiative petition in 2002. That means that enough voters in Florida saw this as important enough to put on the ballot and vote it in as part of the state constitution!
