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. Many say you can’t eat meat and be an environmentalist.
Today, March 30th, at 3:00 East Coast time, Susan Soltero of Puerto Rico will interview me live on the air at WALO Radio about Responsible Policies for Animals' 10,000 Years Is Enough campaign to get our universities out of the meatindustry! The interview is scheduled for 10-15 minutes of Monday's one-hour show.
The only cool thing is that Gene Bauer's views on the meatindustry are so similar to those expressed on this blog a few weeks ago. Humane treatment runs counter to the entire industry when the point is to make money by processing these animals as fast as possible. How many people know this about the Animal Welfare Act?
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. You are not processing their wellbeing, but their carcasses for meat. Here is my opinion.
Says DeGeneres: “Did you know that every year between 250 and 300 million turkeys are bred for slaughter in the United States? Sadly, the meatindustry subjects turkeys to intolerable cruelty and treats them like inanimate objects with no feelings or personalities. More than 46 million for Thanksgiving alone.
