On March 11th, RPA sent the governors of all 50 states a letter and two factsheets urging them to help get their land-grant universities (LGUs) out of the meatindustry. Take a moment to tell your governor you agree we must get our LGUs out of the meatindustry. Below is a press release about the mailing.
If you might wish to thank Utne for helping inform about the land-grant-university (LGU) meat problem and ask them to do more on it, send a brief note to editor@utne.com or Editors, Utne Reader, 12 North 12th Street, Suite 400, Minneapolis, MN 55403 -- or ring them up at 612-338-5040 (editors actually answer the phone, but don't take advantage!).
The meatindustry will say yes, of course, all animals are treated and killed humanely. For some people, it is inhumane to eat meat in any situation, no matter how well the animal is treated prior to and during slaughter. It's a thoughtful question I wish more people would ask. Here is my opinion.
What will it take for us, and our public health leaders, to question our addiction to meat and tolerance of factory farming? The meatindustry is environmentally devastating, incredibly inhumane and now potentially the end to us all.
