So much for, “Easternmost in Quality, Westernmost in Flavor". Every Dodger fan knows this slogan.

Transportation costs will be lower since the hogs come from out of state anyway.
And, having delivered the 'Cattle Cars' of live animals ARE MEAN !
Can't blame them. They seem to know this is 'The End of the Line' !
Oh, and another thing.
When those railcars get to the railyard in Commerce you can smell them for miles !

Tesla and many other companies left California to other more business friendly states like Texas! We need to stop trying to tax these companies too much! Just look at how much this company is struggling! Is there a GoFund me page I can donate to these companies fleeing California? This is so sad.. 😔

Just what LA needs is more folks on EBT. Glad for the midwest, though. Midwest is going to make a comeback in a BIG way. California will be Somalia in 10 years, maybe less.

The real reason is they are selling that property to developers to build market rate housing which is not low income housing.Just like California selling off and closing it's biggest prisons, They are going to build luxury units on the land.

[willieverusethis]

In other words, people make more in California and they can get cheaper labor in another state.

[blossom]

How is it a win for the animals they are moving not closing down

[atarvos]

Tell that against the 2000 employees now without a job
