Animal-rights groups lauded a federal court's decision Wednesday to reinstate a California law prohibiting the use of sick and disabled animals as food. The 9th Circuit found that a lower court erred by holding that the state law was expressly pre-empted by the Federal Meat Inspection Act. Chief Judge Alex Kozinski wrote that the California law made "horse sense" in the same way that federal law can establish fireworks safety standards but doesn't prevent states from banning the explosives altogether.
