I don’t need to tell you how important it is that not a single new state pass this legislation. In addition to being a moral and ethical issue, a matter of educating people on exactly what happens when they pay others to turn animals into food, and in addition to being a freedom of speech issue, remember it is also a food safety issue: undercover investigations have led to the largest recalls of meat in history. Karma, you may think. I did. I find it interesting, however, that the meat industry doesn’t care either. Retaining profits by keeping what goes on secret is way more important than public safety. Why would you think people who don’t care about the animal suffering would care about your health?
Anyway…we will be hearing more about this, but it is never too soon to begin. Go here to find your legislator:
