But the pig likely didn't live in California. Instead it probably came from a state that produces more pork - such as Iowa or North Carolina. And lawmakers from those states say California shouldn't be in charge of how their pigs get raised.
House Republicans are hoping to include a provision that prevents states such as California from determining how others raise their livestock. The provision would allow California to apply its law to local farmers but not to farmers in states like Kansas and Missouri.
'My farmers and ranchers love their animals, they want to treat them as humanely as possible,' said Sen. Roger Marshall, a Kansas Republican. 'We don't need California to tell Kansas ranchers how to raise Kansas beef. It's that simple.'
