We're not throwing eggs at you this time, Mr. Govenator!
'Cause after all these years, you have finally backed an overworked, underserved segment of California's population - laying hens.
On Tuesday, Schwarzenegger signed A.B. 1437 which "requires all eggs sold in the state as of Jan. 1, 2015, to come from hens able to stand up, fully extend their limbs, lie down and fully extend their wings without touching each other or the sides of cages."
What a concept! It's mind boggling that most chickens get smooshed into teeny-weeny cages, never see the light of day and then somehow, miraculously, produce a delicious and nutritious egg.
Anyway, we're happy that California is blazing the trail for chicken rights. All of us at the Compound are squalking with joy.
