By State House News Service A collection of animal rights organizations and commercial egg farmers, once opponents, are joining forces to urge prompt reform of the state s cage-free standards law before it takes effect in January while warning of price spikes on the horizon. In the five years since Massachusetts voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot question setting minimum standards for how farm owners house certain animals, several other states have established cage-free regulations with different space requirements than the Bay State. Industry representatives and several animal welfare groups, including those that ran competing campaigns ahead of the ballot question s passage, on Tuesday urged lawmakers to intervene and reform the hen-specific standards enacted by the ballot question to mirror the more common practices elsewhere that have already been embraced by producers.
