Although they appear to be bitter political rivals, and on the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to topics such as tribal sovereignty, enabling and encouraging government corruption, and using taxpayer funding to indoctrinate public school students which Christian religious teachings and mythology, there are some things where Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt and Attorney General Gentner Drummond seem to agree.
For example, they both want to protect the right of Oklahoma pork producers to be able to torture pigs via extreme confinement before slaughtering them for human consumption!
Over the past few weeks, both Stitt and Drummond have signed letters throwing their support toward the federal EATS Act.
Introduced in response to California’s Proposition 12 – a Supreme Court-upheld law that bans the sale of pork, chicken and other meat products that are produced via the practice of extreme confinement – it aims to prevent state and local governments from “regulating the production and distribution of food products within their borders that are subject to interstate commerce.”
Here’s what Drummond had to say:
“It is outrageous that California should have the authority to impose its regulations on Oklahoma farmers and ranchers. As a fifth-generation rancher myself, I will always fight for my fellow farmers and ranchers. I will fight for our state’s right to regulate agriculture within our own jurisdiction, free from the interference of other states.”
