Humane farm initiative
We often hear about the callousness of the modern farming industry.
I’m very glad to say that the following article sheds a glimpse of hope.
The Arizonans for Humane Farms, a coalition of animal protection
organizations, environmentalists, food safety organizations, and
concerned citizens, is promoting a ballot initiative that would make the
cruel and intensive confinement of pregnant pigs and veal calves on
industrialized factory farms illegal.
Moreover, the coalition is looking into preventing other such pig or
veal operations from opening in the state of Arizona. This article
reports the detailed participation of a Catholic activist and the
support of her church priest on this issue.
