Well they are at it again says American Farm Bureau policy analyst Kelli Ludlum. who warned Farm Bureau Leaders in Washington of an animal care agenda that potentially ties into agricultural policy, food policy, and even obesity. Ludlum warned.
"There are a number of animal rights groups out there that really seek to limit producers ability to be proper stewards of their livestock," Ludlum told FarmWeek. "Fighting those off at both the federal and state levels is going to be something were going to continue to deal with for some time to come."
ICAW has talked with so many farmers in Indiana about the Animals Rights issues that seem to be permeating our state these past years. How can so many people in our great state just not realize where their food comes from "Farmers." When you start talking to the average, everyday consumer they really do not want to know where that package of pork chops came from or how did that bucket of chicken come about at the local fast food restaurant. The Indiana Council for Animal Welfare does, it comes from our great farmers.
Moving from controlled indoor production, raises concerns about the producers environmental compliance at a time of already heavy regulation, Leaders warned Capitol Hill lawmakers. Illinois farmer Edwin Livengood stressed "we already raise our animals humanely," and maintained that if animals are forced outdoors, "our production is going to go way down" and ultimately, "costs are going to go up."
Our Indiana farmers are so proud of their jobs, history and necessity for our survival we should be humbled by their example. All of our farmers want to Stop Cruelty to Animals and fight to preserve their heritage. So the next time you are sitting down and eating, a chicken sandwich or turkey dinner at Thanksgiving, a hamburger at the neighborhood cookout or a T-bone steak or even a ham dinner at Easter dinner, because it is a afforadable, just remember without that farmer what would you do then! So today we ask you the next time you see an Indiana Farmer "HUG EM".
