Most Americans, by contrast, join with us in demanding better regulations to safeguard farmanimals and more credible inspections of our food. Wayne Pacelle President and Chief Executive The HumaneSociety of the United States Washington, March 8, 2008
The Episcopal Church embraces a resolution that specifically addresses puppy mills and factory farms. The United Methodist Church supports the humane treatment of farmanimals and calls for the protection of endangered species. The Catholic Church is not alone among major religions on this issue.
