Animal Rights Groups Have Multi Generational Plan to Destroy Animal Agriculture
Thu, 29 Apr 2010 21:54:11 CDT
The agriculture industry is under attack from a powerful, popular and well-funded lobby - animal rights groups, which want to see it die completely, said two speakers at the Animal Agriculture Alliance 9th Annual Stakeholders Summit in Arlington, Va., Wednesday.
"You are not dealing with people who want to reach accommodation with the agricultural industry about what is proper animal husbandry," Wesley Smith, author of the 2010 book "A Rat Is a Pig Is a Dog Is a Boy: The Human Cost of the Animal Rights Movement," told the audience, which comprised primarily members of the animal agriculture industry. "Their intent is that you have no pigs, that you have no chickens- in fact the agenda is to do away with all animal domesticity, which they see as a multi-generational project."
Fellow Farm Broadcaster Lindsey Hill talked to Smith after his presentation- and we have some of his thoughts about the battle between animal agriculture and those who want to see it destroyed. Our end of the week Beef Buzz features those comments.
