This reform includes...an end to the practices of tail docking and dehorning of dairy cattle, an end to the castration of piglets without painkillers, the phaseout of growth promoters for poultry, ending the intensive confinement of baby calves in veal crates, pregnant pigs in gestation crates, and egg-laying hens in battery cages.
