I linked the details of the case from the oregon.gov site in the other thread about this. RawStory ran a similar article about it.
The Raw Story article claimed the same thing as the article in the OP, AFAIK, so RawStory was also wrong.

Turns out they weren't actually fined for refusing to make the cake.One of the major points that supporters of Sweet Cakes bakery and their right to not bake cakes for lesbian weddings have made is the fact that a $135,000 seems like a really steep seeming fine for just refusing to make a wedding cake. Even if it’s because you’re a weird bigot.
Certainly, DJ Tanner was all kinds of upset about that on “The View” this week. Here’s a refresher in case you didn’t see, or if you just want to see Raven Symone’s glorious side-eye again.
But guess what! As it turns out, the Sweet Cakes bakery people are not actually being fined because they loved Jesus too much to bake a lesbian wedding cake.
You see, when Laurel Bowman-Cryer first filed her complaint in 2013, she filed it on her Smartphone, and thus did not see the disclaimer that the complaint–along with her name, phone number and address–would be released to the owners of Sweet Cakes bakery. It was, and as soon as he received it, the very holy owner, Aaron Klein, posted the complaint to his Facebook page. Without her phone number and address blurred out. Apparently they were fined for revealing personal information. Bearing in mind I have no idea how reliable "the Frisky" is, and the original article I saw claiming this was from Addicting Info. . . So, yeah, pinch of salt. If anybody can find a more reputable source, that'd be appreciated. The WaPo is rejecting this explanation, however, claiming that the Commissioner "expressly rejected this theory of liability".

oh, youtube comments
"I was expecting a 'Prince' to have more class."
the dude is 94
i think he can say "fuck" if he wants to
The guy once asked a black politician--who was born in Britain--what "exotic part of the world" he came from. Prince Phillip is a fucking legend.

Did you get the ash ton thing I was hinting at?
Yes.
I was extending your brilliantly subtly joke by saying my personality, not just my addiction, is also comparable to ash.
Okay now I'm confused.
Why did you delete the part of my comment that in beforehand addressed your whole post minus the "Yes."? Was it for clarification? Was it a "safety first" kind of thing? Did you feel the need to express yourself? Explaining to other people who didn't understand?
What the FUCK are you talking about?

In personality, yes. Cigarettes are just an extension of my edgeless pessimism.

Funnily enough, I saw this on Reddit after I posted it here.

Most of this seems to be regulated by a directive, not a regulation after all.
It's also worth noting that I) still a lot of products which negatively impact animal welfare come from outside the EU and II) the European agricultural sector is insulated from the global market by a combination of subsidies and tariffs. Under an optimal economic regime, which I think is worth striving for, such protections would likely not exist and not allow European agriculture to absorb the costs of higher-welfare farming.

A quick google search seems to indicate that it does, though. Oh I've no doubt that standards are higher. It's just, as far as I know, it's incredibly hard to actually monitor and enforce agricultural regulation. Myriad countries are under the same rules as Belgium within the EU (Britain being one) and yet their standards, IIRC, fall markedly below what has been accomplished elsewhere.

Does anyone know if the animals in the EU are off any better than those in the US?
To be honest, I highly doubt it. Agriculture seems like one of the hardest economic sectors to regulate properly.

That's just because you've never had a whale burger.

2) these sub-optimal conditions are a result of our best friends - Supply & Demand. A company like Tyson couldn't sustain their business if they switched to free-range, grass-fed, whateverwhatever chicken. The simple fact of how much space they would need and the cost of food compared to their current process is enough of a deterrent, financially.
As an econ student, I have to point out that supply and demand are by no means infallible, no matter how much I defend them on principle. Negative externalities like pollution or the suffering of animals should be taxed/regulated out of existence. I'm sure we all agree that the Chinese/Japanese demand for whale fin, which leads to the killing of such awesome and intelligent creatures, is thoroughly immoral.
