Big Ag to Police its Animal Treatment in Ohio

From the good folks at Food Freedom.

Just some short snippets from the larger article. Also, I running a bit behind today, but I am going to follow-up with some additional information about this Ohio bill.

This week both HSUS and Farm Sanctuary warned Ohioans of Big Agribusiness lobbying to have legislation introduced which would amend the state constitution to give industry oversight over the well-being of farm animals. The legislation: Senate Joint Resolution NO.6/House Joint Resolution No.2.

Per Farm Sanctuary: “This is a transparent attempt to hijack the constitution to the detriment of farm animals across the state, as well as the basic democratic processes. It’s crucial that we (Ohioans) thwart this effort by Big Agribusiness to be the only voice in deciding how farm animals are treated and to evade broadly-supported efforts to outlaw the cruelest factory farming practices, including confining animals in crates so small they can’t even turn around or spread their limbs.” (And in the case of caged chickens – their wings.)
