Animal Welfare Lawsuit

Well, they’re at it again and this time in a really big way. Animal rights activists have filed a lawsuit in Washington state asking the courts to declare unconstitutional any and all exemptions and exclusions granted to livestock owners under Washington State’s animal cruelty laws. Adam Karp, attorney for NARN, issued a statement to the press that “Foxes should not be guarding the henhouse.” Oh please; once again a group of over the top radicals who know nothing of which they speak are attempting to capture the imagination of an unwitting general public; and imagination is exactly what is in play here. Those in the livestock industry would not condone inhumane treatment or handling of their animals, plain and simple. Sadly, there are too few people that have even the most basic idea or understanding of animal care and husbandry. We need to help the consumer understand the truth behind animal care and welfare as it pertains to the industry, and we need to do it sooner than later.
