"On or about February 10, 2016, in the above named judicial district, the crime of FARM ANIMAL CRUELTY, in violation of HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE SECTION 25990, a misdemeanor, was committed by Robert Allen Hohberg, Hohberg's Poultry Ranches and Hohberg Properties, L.P., who unlawfully confined a covered animal, on a farm, for all or the majority of any day, in a manner that prevents such animal from lying down, standing up, and fully extending her limbs and turning around freely, to wit, egg laying hens, cage #B54." This criminal count and 55 others are now being faced by a California egg farmer. It is being brought in the Superior Court of California in the county of San Bernadino. Specifically there are 39 counts of violating California's Prevention of Farm Animal Cruelty Act and 16 additional criminal counts of violating the state's cruelty code. You may remember California passed Proposition 2 in 2008. California's legislature subsequently passed a law that each egg laying hen be able to fully spread her wings without touching another hen.
