A federal judge has upheld a Massachusetts law that bans the sale of pork from pigs kept in tightly confined spaces, rejecting an industry-backed challenge. US District Judge William Young ruled that the state law does not conflict with federal regulations governing slaughterhouses, specifically addressing arguments from Triumph Foods and out-of-state pig farmers. The ruling reinforces the state's commitment to animal welfare standards, despite opposition from the pork industry.
